English Comp. II students have been busy writing grants over the past several weeks. Following a grant writing seminar in Hays, seniors worked with local organizations, writing grants on their behalf. Last week, they presented these grants in person.
We will find out at the end of May/beginning of June if any of our grant requests are awarded. Thank you to all of these organizations for partnering with our students on this project!
