C.E.S. Grants: Inspiring Educational Excellence
​Our Mini Grants program supports innovative educational projects across C.E.S. schools, empowering educators to bring creative ideas to life and enhancing student experiences. These grants foster cultural awareness, artistic expression, social-emotional growth, literacy, and hands-on learning. Here are some of this year's exciting projects:
  • Global Arts and Cultural Exchange: The Regional Center for the Arts will host immersive workshops, including theater with Rajan Khatiwada from Nepal, African dance with Rhythmic Roots, and an interactive history of a cappella with the award-winning vocal band, Radius.
  • Creative Expression and Performance: Students at Oakview Schools will participate in a percussion workshop tailored for sensory exceptionalities, and RCA vocal students will learn vocal health and technique through "Patti LuBone Meets Vocal Athletics."
  • Hands-On Learning and Skill Development: The Oakview Transition Program will introduce digital photography, a leisure activity library, and enhanced social skills through group activities. Merit Academy students will benefit from strength and conditioning programs guided by a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
  • Early Learning and Literacy: The Regional Center for Early Learning will implement projects like the "Listen and Learn Hub" to support language development, dramatic play materials for social-emotional growth, and music and movement activities to inspire creativity.
  • Enriching Field Trips and Cultural Experiences: Six to Six Magnet School students will explore literature through live theater with trips to see "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Outsiders" on Broadway. They’ll also engage in a Spanish Book Club to enhance bilingual literacy and cultural awareness.
  • Innovative Classroom Environments: Grants will support improved learning spaces at Six to Six and Oakview Schools, including adaptable furniture for safety and comfort and specialized chairs for students with physical challenges.
  • Community Engagement and Visibility: A new high-resolution camera will be used to capture and celebrate the exceptional work of students and staff across C.E.S. schools, promoting community engagement and showcasing educational achievements.
Through the support of these Mini Grants, C.E.S. continues to foster creativity, diversity, and growth, enriching the educational journey for every student.
