CONNECT WITH A CLASSROOM and help bring exciting new learning opportunities to Collier County children!    Our schools do a wonderful job of providing    students and teachers with the fundamental    learning tools. But with a little help from the    community, teachers can enhance their    students' learning through projects and    activities that go above and beyond the standard    curriculum. You can Connect With a Classroom by     Investing in a Student Project. INVEST in a Student Project Although Collier County's property tax base generates funds for beautiful school buildings and facilities, the state applies a formula that leaves gaps in classroom funding. The Education Foundation offers various grants to teachers and schools to help fill these gaps, but you can also help by funding an innovative student project. Through Connect With a Classroom, you can browse through current projects teachers have posted, choose one or several to fund, and even present your grant check to the teacher in a surprise classroom visit!
