The Sierra Schools Foundation through its Roots & Boots Initiative funded many educational grants the school sites and teachers of the Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District! This spring it awarded $27,948 to enhance the educational experience of our students in the form of additional programs, field trips to connect the classroom to the real world, social/emotional workshops, and classroom equipment. In total for the 2017-2018 academic year, The Foundation awarded over $47,000 to support our rural schools. A big thank you goes to all who donate and support the vision of the Roots & Boots Initiative and the effort to bring exceptional educational program to Sierra County students.
