FACES in a Pandemic

Even during the pandemic, FACES found a way to make a difference in classrooms.  For the 2021-2022 school year, monies were distributed to each of the thirteen schools in Auburn City Schools to be used in innovative projects that directly impacted student learning.  Rather than a competitive district-wide grant process, this distribution of funds ensure all schools would be supported by FACES during the 2021-2022 school year.  Each school determined how the money would be used.

During the 2020-2021 school year, the competitive grant process was not used due to circumstances related to the pandemic.  Instead, the teachers from the top scoring grants the prior year, 2019-2020 were given additional funds by FACES to extend their projects another year.  We congratulate the following teachers and schools for their creative engagement of students through resources purchased using FACES grant funds in 2020-2021.
