Webster Groves School District Foundation
The 1st Annual $15,000 Foundation Alumni Grant and over $50,000 in Foundation Major Grants were just awarded in May 2012
The new Webster Groves School District Foundation Alumni Grant provides an opportunity for an annual $15,000 larger grant for creative, dynamic, learning experiences that have a powerful impact on student learning and motivation. Projects that are progressive and/or innovative to the WGSD are given special consideration. Higher profile, more visible ideas with the highest impact are strongly encouraged. District-wide collaborations and those projects affecting the greatest number of students are also scored more favorably.
The purpose of this up to $15,000 grant is to support worthwhile programs or projects that would not otherwise be funded by the Webster Groves School District. One grant will be selected annually.
.....are on display at all district schools.
The boards feature upcoming Foundation events and photo boards highlighting Major Grant projects at each school. Check them out the next time you visit our schools.

One of the Webster Groves School District’s indicators of student success is that students understand the importance of safe and healthy lifestyles. Every student has unique fitness levels and objectives. This grant will provide heart rate monitors that will provide students and parents information about the student’s cardiovascular performance.
