2016-2017 Innovative Educator Award Recipients
The Cheltenham School District Foundation is proud of its multi-faceted grant initiative that provides diverse support to programs, integrating and supplementing the regular instructional programs of the Cheltenham School District. Many of these programs provide unique approaches to learning, some are offered outside of school hours and are separate from the curriculum and academic program. 
This school year the Foundation awarded $23,000 in Innovative Educator Awards, our highest amount to date.
