SAND SPRINGS, Okla. — As we prepare for Thanksgiving next week, our school community has another big reason to be grateful!

This morning, the Sand Springs Education Foundation (SSEF) delivered exciting news to nearly 60 educators across the district. They were awarded grants—totaling $95,595—to support educational initiatives and enhance student learning experiences. SSEF gives grants to teachers every November, and this year is the largest dollar amount they've ever given.

From engaging in physical activities like pickleball, to fostering creativity through a stage production, to diving into cutting-edge technology like 3D printing and design, these grants will provide educators with the tools and resources they need to inspire their students

Thank you to SSEF for investing in our students, educators, and the future of our community!
