An annual tradition in Clinton schools in the early spring months is the distribution of grants from the Clinton Community Education Foundation.

This year, nearly $22,000 was awarded to teachers across the district, and the Foundation's Chris Schaffer says it is her favorite part of what they do.

Clinton Junior High School Principal Jim Peck calls the Foundation a blessing and believes it helps enhance an already robust lineup of offerings in the walls of his school building.

Paul Ranstead is a first-year Principal at Clinton Elementary School and says it was fun to watch the grant process play out in his building last week. 

The Clinton Community Education Foundation also hosts various fundraisers throughout the year. They also help administer scholarships in the spring.
