The recipients were from Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay, Manitowoc, Marinette, Pulaski and CESA 8. The projects ranged from a student/parent book club to programs that will enhance English Language Learning instruction to a project that helped seventh-graders prepare for eighth-grade algebra and other rigorous classes that will be necessary if they are to become first-generation college students.
