The Stanzel Family Foundation announced the recipients of their annual Teacher-Generated Instructional Grants. Since 2013, the foundation has offered these awards to support instructional learning experiences in the area schools. Grant requests come directly from and directly support teachers in four schools: Weimar Independent School District, Schulenburg ISD, St. Michael Catholic School and St. Rose of Lima Catholic School.
This year’s awards supported technology, curriculum and supplies in the areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), Instructional Materials, Novels and books, Agriculture Mechanics Tools and Shop Equipment, and social-emotional learning curriculum.
The foundation has placed importance on education in Schulenburg and Weimar. This is based on Victor and Joe Stanzel’s constant pursuit of knowledge through education.
Teacher grants help support this focus by providing finan cial support, resources, and education for teachers to be effective in the classroom.
Teacher grants are also given in memory of Ginger Stanzel Bosl, who served as a board member and was an educator herself. She was deeply involved in the teacher grant process and cared deeply about supporting teachers and students. Her love for education and commitment to her community continue to live on through the lasting impact she made.
The Stanzel Family Foundation envisions a community of lifelong learners in which each member is engaged in a voluntary, self-motivated pursuit of knowledge.
The foundation is grateful for teachers who carry this mission every day and are essential to our children’s learning.
