RAGF Grants for Loup City Public School Teachers
Well-educated kids are the most important factor in the future success of our country and our world. That's a big responsibility for our teachers - especially since they are operating on ever-shrinking budgets! Last year we awarded $2000 in grant money to the Loup City Public School teachers to go towards two projects - a classroom robot and playground equipment. We are excited to be able to offer again this year a total of $2000 in grant money to teachers!
So many worthwhile programs have been cut in recent years so, for that reason, we’d love to see proposals for things such as field trips, art projects, instructional supplies, etc. and it would be a bonus if the proposal would include a group of classes. But please don’t limit your ideas to these!
We would like to divide the funds into 3-4 grants but would also consider giving one grant for the total amount if we like the idea.
All proposals must be received by March 5, 2017. Grants winners will be announced in mid to late March 2017.
Proposal Guidelines:
*Please be as specific as possible.
*List all known costs relating to project/trip/supplies/etc. to the best of your ability. Please try to be as accurate as possible with all estimates.
*Include a timeline.
*Include a brief summary of how you would expect the acceptance of this proposal to affect your students.
*Include a description of how, if your proposal is accepted, you will document the project for the RAGF.
Proposal Requirements:
*Proposals must be received by 3/5/2017.
*Proposals must be signed and dated by a Loup City Public School teacher.
*Project/trip/etc. must be completed by the end of the 2017-2018 school year.
If your proposal is selected we will require documentation of the use of the money within one month of completion of the project which would include, but not be limited to, a written description and photos and or videos of the activity.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. Proposals can be emailed to RebeccaAdamsGreenFoundation@gmail.com, or mailed or given to Megan Jaixen, 100 Jeemds Ave, Loup City, NE 68853
We can’t wait to see your ideas!

2017 Teacher Grants Awarded!
We are excited to announce the recipients of our 2017 Loup City Public School Teacher grants!
Heidi Krolikowski was given $500 for material to develop four Circle of Friends groups - a program which facilitates social skills development in special needs populations, especially important with the increase in children found to be on the autism spectrum.
And Jason Obermiller will receive $1000 to introduce drone technology to the students of his Wildlife, Life, Earth, and Physical Sciences classes. He will first obtain his professional drone license and then will use drone and video technology with his students to study environmental and wildlife changes in the community and to help with natural resources conservation.
We are happy to be able to help these motivated educators with their projects to improve the education of our students!
