As they have done for four years, the Washington County Endowment Board has awarded classroom grants. The Endowment Board receives a $5000 donation from an individual on a yearly basis to be used to help teachers get “extra” items that can be used to enhance student learning. This $5000 is usually supplemented with money from the Endowment Board as well. The Endowment Board has given a total amount of $27,434.61 in classroom grants since 2018!
