The purpose of the Foundation’s Big Apple event is to raise funds for Madison Central classrooms and teachers.  The funds raised can be accessed through grants, educational opportunities, and leadership activities that ultimately help students and teachers access innovative ideas to improve learning in the schools. Educator Grants provide funding to individuals or small teams of educators in the formation and implementation of groundbreaking classroom instruction.  The grants provide opportunities for educators to integrate new strategies that encourage critical and conceptual learning.
