Local Farmers support needed


Bancroft-Rosalie School needs your help to secure funding for purchasing Ipads for use in the elementary school.

We are asking local farmers to nominate Bancroft-Rosalie Community School for the opportunity to compete for a $10,000 grant through Monsanto Fund’s America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education.

For the second year in a row, the Monsanto Fund is gearing-up to invest $2.3 million to strengthen math and science education in rural communities through America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education℠. Now until April 15, 2013, farmers can nominate their favorite, local public school district.

Bancroft-Rosalie School has already received eight nominations. The school has submitted a grant application to enhance their math programs through the use of Ipads in the elementary school.

Grants will be awarded based on merit, need and community support. The more farmers to nominate our school district, the more it demonstrates community support and strengthens our application.
