Stanzel Family Foundation awards teacher grants to local educators totaling $12K

The Stanzel Family Foundation is excited to announce the recipients of their annual Teacher-Generated Instructional Grants. Since 2013 the Foundation has offered these awards to support instructional learning experiences in the area schools. Grant requests come directly from and directly support teachers in four schools: Weimar ISD, Schulenburg ISD, St. Michael Catholic School and St. Rose of Lima Catholic School. This year’s awards supported technology, curriculum and supplies in the areas of STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math), ELAR (English Language Arts and Reading), and math and financial literacy.

From the very beginning, the Foundation has placed importance on investing in education in Schulenburg and Weimar. This focus is based on Victor and Joe Stanzel’s constant pursuit of knowledge through both formal and informal education. Teacher grants help support this focus by providing financial support, resources, and education for teachers to be effective in the classroom.

Long-time board member, Ginger Stanzel Bosl continued to champion this part of the Foundation’s mission. Ginger was dedicated to teaching and being a positive influence on all her students. She was admired and appreciated by not only her students but also her fellow teachers and the community.

The Foundation is grateful for teachers who carry this mission every day and are essential to our children’s learning.

The Stanzel Family Foundation envisions a community of lifelong learners where each member is engaged in a voluntary and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge.
