SPIRIT OF LINDBERGH
TEACHER GRANTS PROGRAM

Picture

​The Spirit of Lindbergh Fund was created
to support grants for teachers in the Lindbergh Schools who propose innovative
and engaging classroom projects to elevate instruction and learning to the
next level.

CREATED FOR TEACHERS, BY TEACHERS
The Spirit of Lindbergh Teacher Grants program was designed by the Foundation and Lindbergh teachers — for Lindbergh teachers. 

A special committee, made up of former recipients of “Lindbergh Teacher of the Year”, were involved in creating the structure of the ​program, and continue to be part of the selection process. They not only designed the application criteria and the scoring rubric for the grants, they also evaluate the grants and help select the best among them for funding.

MAKING A LASTING GIFT
Every dollar of every donation to the Spirit of Lindbergh Fund is invested in safe, high-yield accounts. Only the interest earned on these accounts is used to fund the teacher grants. Your gift will continue to generate income to fund these grants for years to come. A donation to the
Spirit of Lindbergh Fund will certainly inspire learning and creativity
in the classroom.

THE GRANT PROCESS
Each November, teachers throughout the district are encouraged to submit applications for the Spirit of Lindbergh Teacher Grants program. The “Teacher of the Year” committee meets in early December to then evaluate the applications. They select those grants judged to present the most innovative and engaging projects for the classroom. Multiple grants of up to $500 each are funded and awarded in January. The number of grants varies each year depending upon the amount
​of interest earned by the Spirit of Lindbergh Fund.
