February Charity: SPIE Grants (Poudre School District Foundation)

Poudre School District Foundation SPIE Grants

“Creativity is where we start to think differently, and Innovation is where Creativity comes to life” -George Couros

The SPIE Grants through the Poudre School District Foundation are symbiotic of our mission here at Odell including innovation, creativity and collaboration. These grants offer teachers, our boots on the ground, an opportunity to combine their experience and imagination to produce thoughtful ways to engage young minds. Grants have been awarded to 7th to 10th graders to do coral restoration off the coast of Florida, contributed Spanish novels for high school students and provided smart boards for an elementary school to name a few.

Please watch these incredibly moving videos to see the extraordinary teachers and motivated kids that have benefited from these grants.
