About the Program
The Milton Foundation for Education, which has funded hundreds of projects since 1995, has supported a wide diversity of teacher-initiated projects in the arts, mathematics, music, science, the environment, history, literature, language, social skills, and valuing diversity. These investments in Milton’s children provide educational enhancements that will extend beyond the duration of the money. Through Glover’s “Turner’s Pond Study” and Cunningham’s “Elm Tree Farm” project and Collicot’s “Using Maps to Understand the World” and Tucker’s “GeoSafari Theater” and Pierce’s “Incentive Program for Academic Achievement” and Milton High School’s “Jazz Ensemble and Concert Band’s CD,” literally thousands of Milton’s children have been touched by the grants provided by the Milton Foundation for Education.
