Grant Successes
Kentwood's teachers have accomplished impressive things with their grants in the past. In October 2011, EKHS hosted 3 Challenge Days touching over 300 students which has become a sustained program each year since having now reached over 2,000 students and 400 adults. With another grant, 8th grade students practiced painting in oils, with the results donated to local nursing homes. Yet another grant funded a special peer-leadership education program for 5th grade students. Other grants have funded 3-D printers, Music Education tools, S.T.E.M. kits for classrooms, and much more!
