Bring Innovative Ideas Back to the Classroom - Mini Grants
We are betting that you will find something at eLEAD that you would like to implement in your classroom, if only . . . If only, you had the app, the materials, the resources. We are doing what we can to make it happen for you. As a part of this year's conference, we are encouraging teachers to create a project with skills that they gained at eLEAD to take back and apply in their classroom. Through generous sponsorships, the conference will be offering mini-grants of up to $500 to fund these projects. Check out the application information and grant criteria below. Plan your schedule and start generating ideas today!
See the simple mini-grant application or https://goo.gl/forms/IfudDq7ykxdOiMY13 so you know what to do.

Grab Some Sweet Treats and Give Back to the Grants!
This year, the eLEAD Conference has partnered with Good's Ice Cream and Gigi's Cupcakes to not only make awesome afternoon snacks available but also to give back to our mini grants. For each purchase made, both of these businesses are giving a portion of sales back to the grant fund. Bring a few extra dollars and plan on enjoying a sweet treat while learning at eLEAD!
