SCHOOLS THAT SHINE
Schools That Shine is a grant program designed to reward your school for innovation and creativity. Beginning February 2008, one school will be selected each month during the academic year to receive this grant.
Your school will be profiled in a public
service announcement that will be broadcast
on WCSH 6 for a month. Each school selected will receive a $1,000 cash grant from Dunkin' Donuts; school decides how grant money is used.
Schools That Shine is a program that was developed in partnership with WCSH 6 and your neighborhood Dunkin' Donuts locations. Any school (public, charter, parochial, or independent) serving students in grades Pre-K
through 12 may submit an application.
WCSH 6 will work with your school to
develop the public service message. The
PSA will profile a creative, innovative
program currently in your school. This
program can be in any discipline: music,
art, math, science, physical activity or an
online program. It can involve the entire
school or a single classroom.
