New Haven Public Schools makes top 20 finalist list for Make It Your Own Awards™

Make It Your Own is an untraditional grants program that embraces a more grassroots, “citizen-centered” approach to funding. After selecting the top 20 ideas from an initial 100 announced this past October, the Case Foundation is now inviting America to get online and vote for the Final Four, each of whom will be awarded an additional $25,000 in grant dollars to help realize their dreams.

Please visit casefoundation.org/myvote and vote for My School is Your School, a project developed by New Haven Public Schools' Community Engagement Team. The team is committed to collaborating with parents, students, community members, teachers and principals to create a welcoming atmosphere in every school. Details: www.nhps.net.
