The Benjamin Logan Elementary School earned one of the highest grant awards in the state to support its literacy program.
The $1.2 million the school received was part of $33 million in Striving Readers Grants announced by the Ohio Department of Education on Wednesday.
“The district has never received a grant of such magnitude and we are feeling extremely fortunate to have been awarded an opportunity like this from the state,” Ben Logan Curriculum Director Sally Stolly said. “Over the three-year grant cycle we will be working with our staff to put vital resources and professional learning directly into the K-4 classrooms.”
“I am so incredibly proud of the work of our grant writing team. They transformed our initial conversations and brainstorming sessions from thoughts and ideas into a cohesive, well thought-out plan using evidence-based resources. The Striving Readers Grant award has created an amazing opportunity for our staff and students. This will truly be a game changer with regard to learning opportunities in the area of literacy for the future students of our community,” said Superintendent, Dave Harmon.
