Charitable Projects 2019 Major Recipient

The SLGC membership has voted to award its 2019 major grant to Stonebrook Montessori School, a tuition-free public charter Montessori school within the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, located on Wade Park Boulevard in the Glenville neighborhood.

This project, created in partnership with the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, establishes an Educator-in-Residence program at Stonebrook for students in Kindergarten through Grade 6. NCSL educators will provide hands-on science lessons and environmental education enrichment experiences using the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, Doan Brook, and the Nature Center in a differentiated curriculum by grade/age.

Grant funds will be used to support the Educator-in-Residence salary, provide program supplies and classroom science materials, and fund field trip transportation.

The allocation to other applicants of the remainder of funds contributed by the membership will be announced in the May newsletter.
