Grant

We are proud to announce that these West DeFuniak Elementary teachers were among the 46 teachers across Okaloosa, Walton, and Santa Rosa Counties who were selected as recipients of this year’s NDIA Gulf Coast Chapter ACCELerator Grants.

The ACCELerator Grants Program, sponsored by the NDIA Gulf Coast Chapter, is designed to spark excitement and curiosity in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) among local students. Through grants of up to $1,500, the program supports creative, innovative classroom projects that bring STEM learning to life.

Please join us in congratulating these exceptional teachers for their passion, dedication, and commitment to inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers and leaders. A special “thank you” goes to Hannah Bowers for taking the initiative to spearhead the grant writing efforts for WDE.
