Could your school use $5,000 for a community engagement project? 

The NAESP Foundation, funded by MetLife Foundation, has launched the Sharing the Dream grant opportunity. Apply today for funding to implement a community engagement program at your school. Projects may vary, but must include a global component. Sample ideas include: linking with other schools overseas using social media technology, involving immigrant parents and families in the school environment, hosting international arts and food festivals, service learning projects, and second language classes for parents and teachers. More details about the Sharing the Dream grant and application process are on the NAESP Foundation Web site.

Applications due August 20.
