Parkland School District Education Foundation has awarded 15 grants to eight elementary schools, 12 grants to two middle schools and another 16 grants were given to Parkland High School. The 43 “Celebrate Innovation” grants amounting to more than $70,000 will be used for educational enrichment efforts that range from a summer math program for elementary students to new drum sticks for the high school percussion ensemble.
