The New Jersey Education Association's Frederick L Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education has given more than $2.3 million to innovative education projects since its inception in 1993, and it's just awarded two more grants to public school educators in New Jersey.
Amanda Miranda, Stacy Davies, Susan Ort, and Kellianne Zuzuro of the Washington Township School District in Morris County were awarded a $7,650 grant to create Igniting Imagination: Read, Write, which will enable approximately 100 students in grades PreK-5 to become published nonfiction authors, with their books remaining in the school library indefinitely, Patch.com reports.
