Bloomfield, Missouri - Bloomfield R-XIV School District was awarded a $10,000 grant through America's Farmers Grow Rural Education program and was presented during the high school volleyball game on Monday, September 17, 2018.

This program helps farmers support their local rural public school districts.  Since 2011, this Monsanto Fund program has given over $16 million to rural schools to enhance math and science education.

Thanks to farmer nominations and an excellent application written by Sabrina Skaggs and Casey Karnes, Bloomfield schools will be able to use this grant to purchase Chromebooks to provide access for all elementary learners and teachers.  Implementation of instructional technology with project based learning will transform their learning environments and will create collaborative partnerships within the classroom and within the community.

David Stone and Tim Temples from America's Farmers Grow Rural Education program were on hand to give Elementary Principal Sabrina Skaggs and Elementary Academic Coach Casey Karnes their $10,000 grant.
