Grants Update

It's official, the Foundation, and Eagleview School, are participating in a 21st Century Community Learning Centergrant application. Other potential participants include ISD 318, ISD 317, the Grand Rapids Family YMCA, and the city of Grand Rapids. ISD 318 has applied, and been denied, three times. We hope having a larger collaborative, and serving more students, will win it for us this time.
