Paid for Grades Celebrates Another Successful Year!

A lot goes in to what we do here at Paid for Grades.

We advocate for teachers to get the resources they need for their classrooms, and we work with organizations like the Pinellas Education Foundation to expand opportunities available in our schools. Most important of all, though, is our material support for students through individual and school grants.

This May, Paid for Grades provided $45,000 to students and teachers at three bay area high schools to honor their commitment to success. Congratulations!

Celebrating Student Achievement

This year’s Paid for Grades participants included students from Boca Ciega High School, Lakewood High School, and Dixie Hollins High School. Students who successfully completed the program were recognized in a special ceremony at Boca Ciega High School on May 30:

Representatives from Boca Ciega High School receive Paid for Grades grant.

The recipients of 2018 Paid for Grades awards.

Representatives from Lakewood High School receive Paid for Grades grant.

Student receives a 2018 Paid for Grades award.

Each student received a special grant as a reward for demonstrating improvement in grades and learning ability. In addition, participating schools received an additional grant for each student who successfully completed the program.

The lessons learned as part of the Paid for Grades program will help these succeed through graduation and beyond.

To our Paid for Grades Class of 2018: Good luck on all your future ventures!
