Several programs/organizations in Brunswick, Ohio, applied for the $300 annual school grant.
By: Caryn Kish The special education program advisor, Kim Tanski, wrote in her school grant application essay, “We as a department have the students participate in game activities to have the students work on their communication, turn taking, and general life skills in a fun manner.” She also explained that many of the games they currently have are either outdated and do not interest the students or the games have pieces missing. Tanski also stated that the games purchased with the grant money will also benefit the Games Club at Willetts Middle School. The Brunswick Old Fashioned Days’ School Grant annually awards up to $300 to a Brunswick student group, special class, extra-curricular activity or school district sponsored event. The OFD School Grant requirements also must benefit more than one student, all purchases/projects must be sanctioned by the school district, and more than one application per group is acceptable. OFD grant applications must also include a short essay describing why the grant would benefit the student or school organization/ If any Brunswick, Ohio, school group/organization is interested in applying for the Old Fashioned Days School Grant, please contact committee members Caryn Kish or Kevin Schemrich at 330-220-1111.
