Jo-Ann Stores Offers Teacher Grants to Promote Creativity
Deadline: September 30, 2004

Jo-Ann Stores, a national chain of fabric and craft retailers, in partnership with the School, Home and Office Products Association, is offering grants in every state through SHOPA’s Kids in Need program (<a href="http://shopa.org/shopa_foundation/">http://shopa.org/shopa_foundation/</a>). The program will fund hands-on projects designed to enhance student learning.

The $100 to $500 grants provide educators with funding to provide new learning opportunities that incorporate crafts. This year, Jo-Ann plans to award $50,000 to teachers nationwide through the grant program.

To be considered for a grant, teachers must be a certified and licensed kindergarten through twelfth grade teacher. The project must make creative use of common teaching aids and approach the curriculum from an imaginative angle.
