Sierra Foothill Charter School Teachers Receive Kids First Grant Awards

Kids First Treasurer, Jetty Uebner (center), recently stopped by Sierra Foothill Charter School to award two teachers with Spring Mini Grant Awards. Teena Starchman (second from left) will be using the grant money to purchase sets of non-fiction books for reading groups. Brandon Kanarowski (second from right) will be using the funds to buy inquiry-driven learning toys for play-based centers that fit well with the Kindergarten Next Generation Science Standards for both Engineering Design and Forces and Interactions. Congratulations to both teachers. Also in this photo are teachers Erika Miranda (far left) and Wendy Baumann (far right).
