Cronin Foundation Pledges Matching Grant
for Textbooks
Thanks to a timely and generous donation from the Cronin Foundation, Marshall Public School students could be trading in outdated learning materials in their history and social studies classes this fall in exchange for new and improved textbooks, an upgrade that many students and teachers feel is long overdue.
At its quarterly meeting last month, the Cronin Foundation Board agreed to assist the Success Fund Committee in its campaign to purchase new social studies textbooks for middle-school and high-school students. The grant will match up to $15,000 in donations from the community, which means that the Cronin Foundation pledge, coupled with community donations, could generate $30,000 of the estimated
$43,000 needed to acquire the new textbooks.
According to Marsha Franke, chair of the Success Fund Committee, the goal is to purchase 590 new books along with other teaching and learning supplements by the start of the 2009-2010 school year. Individuals or families who “sponsor” one textbook for $75 will be recognized inside the cover of that text in a special nameplate.
Middle school students are currently using books that are over a decade old, which can prove challenging in classes that rely on discussions of current events and global awareness. This upgrade also will help MPS teachers better align their curriculum with the Michigan Social Studies Grade Level Expectations.
