On April 17 LEEF set out to award 9 amazing educators and LISD leaders with our Spring Mini Grants. With the help of these grants more than 1300 students will be directly impacted and more 35,000 will benefit district wide. Our district is so fortunate to have educators eager to better themselves and their peers to support our children. A huge round of applause to the recipients of the Spring 2014 Grant Winners!
