Congratulations to Principal Vernon-Jones for winning a $500 grant from the Amherst Education Foundation. This grant will be used to establish a Center for Racial Justice for the town of Amherst and its schools and to gather educational resources on race, racism and white privilege, and provide workshops for educators, parents, students and community members.Another Fort River grant went to Seiha Krouch to fund the Fort River Cambodian Culture Class, in which the Cambodian student population learns about and prepares for a Cambodian New Year Festival for the entire Fort River Community. This also funds a dancer to perform as part of the Festival, and informs the community about Cambodian life.
