Several local sponsors have donated over $5,000 towards Brenham ISD’s Education Foundation.

The foundation received $5,500 in donations which will support its Mini-Grant Program, a program created to generate and distribute resources to district teachers.

The program is designed to award revenue throughout the school year to teachers, helping with funding for extra classroom supplies, projects, and activities not within the district’s budget.
