Money raised by the Suffolk Education Foundation helps with staff development, improves student access to computers and other classroom technology, and assists teachers and students in furthering their education.
The Foundation offers financial assistance to local high school graduates and those still in school. Since it began in 1993, it has awarded eight $500 scholarships to college-bound students from Lakeland and Nansemond River high schools.
A teacher mini-grant program, introduced in 1994, has awarded almost $5,400 to fund 22 projects designed to improve the quality of classroom instruction.
The Foundation also helps to finance the purchase of computers and other state-of-the-art technology. MEMO: Donations may be sent to P.O. Box 394, Suffolk, Va. 23439-0394. For
