Our Mini-grant program that offers district staff and teachers modest awards to offer additional educational programs and resources that make a positive difference in the learning experience of their students. past mini-grants include, field trips, books, musical instruments, farm-to-school projects and artist in residence projects.
Our Friends Feeding Friends program that is designed to decrease food insecurity , increase food access and reduce food waste to all residents of the Mascoma Valley Regional School District. FFF offers two public food pantries every week, supports pantries, snack and backpack programs in all four district schools, and plans and executes four school and community food box distributions for holidays and school breaks throughout the year.
