Innovative classroom grant
awarded to Cavelero Mid-High

JOURNAL STAFF The Lake Stevens Education Foundation (LSEF) is pleased to announce the latest awards of their Innovative Classroom Grants. An award of $1,500 was made to Cavelero Mid-High School for Performing Arts…Start, the school’s first ever performing arts program. With this grant, the school will start to lay a foundation for a drama club and for future drama classes.

A group of highly motivated students and teachers at Cavelero plan to create and perform a production by the students. The final production of “Just another Cavelero Musical” will be performed in the spring for their fellow classmates and the greater Lake Stevens community.

“We are very honored to accept the award of $1500 granted to this project. However, “thank you” doesn’t seem to be enough to express our sincere gratitude,” Grant Manager, Vicky Davenport said.

As the New Year starts, and with the help of this grant, students are planning music, designing sets and costumes and will begin rehearsals.
“I am very excited about this because of the collaborative efforts of students, teacher, parents and how it is getting the whole school involved,” John Gebert, Cavelero principal said. “This year the group is well organized, motivated and anxious to put on a real production. In fact, a student has written a script for a musical production that will highlight the talents of various students.”

The Lake Stevens Education Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports public education in the Lake Stevens School District. LSEF awards Innovative Classroom Grants three times during the school year.
Other awards for this school year included $700 for Literacy Nights at Highland Elementary; $170 for Non-fiction Texts at Highland Elementary; $1,350 for the Robotics Club at Cavelero Mid-High; and $1,100 for Why Try Drop-out Prevention at Cavelero Mid-High.
