The Cherokee County Educational Foundation is accepting applications for its third round of IMPACT grants, designed to encourage innovative and creative teaching ideas/projects in the Cherokee County School District.

The foundation said it has $25,000 to spend on the program, up from $15,0000 last year and said it will fund winning proposals with grants of as much as $2,500. Last year’s winners ranged from a media center recording studio to mobile gardening labs for first and second grade science students.

Applications are due Jan. 11 with grants presented Feb 12.
