2024-2025 Prize Patrol Recap: Awarding Innovation Grants to Educators

In December 2024, we had the joy and privilege of surprising many Manor ISD educators in their classrooms with the great news that their grant request was funded!

Thanks to our community’s incredible support, we were able to award 30 grants to 25 teachers across 15 campuses, with an additional two district-wide grants made!

So many new innovative projects will now take flight this school year — including a STEM resource library, a zen zone, an expanded school garden, bird biology lessons with new purple martin nests, a podcast-journalism program, a teacher wellness program and new relaxation room, a Latin dance initiative, a super-charged robotics team with upgraded 3D printers, calming sensory stations, an expanded school garden, and more. See the full list of grantees here.

Altogether, our grantees estimate that more than 6,000 students will benefit from these projects.

Thank you to our community for believing in our work and being a champion of local teachers! We hope you enjoy just a few photos from prize patrol.
