KILLEEN, Texas – In a festive pre-holiday surprise, educators throughout the Killeen Independent School District were celebrated for their dedication and innovation. The district’s Education Foundation generously awarded a total of 22 classroom grants, amounting to an impressive $76,801, benefiting teachers across 15 campuses.

The grants were presented on Tuesday as part of the Foundation's annual “Grant Patrol,” an event designed to recognize and support the creative efforts of teachers. This initiative aims to enhance the educational experience for students by funding innovative projects and resources that might not otherwise be available through traditional school budgets.

The awarded grants will enable teachers to implement a variety of programs and activities that foster learning and engagement in the classroom. As the winter break approaches, this unexpected boost not only brings joy to the educators but also promises to enrich the educational journeys of their students in the coming year.
