BFEE Marks Decade of Educational Excellence

​

In 1993, a handful of volunteers envisioned an organization focused on enhancing the educational experience of Blissfield Community Schools. Ten years and nearly $500,000 later, the Blissfield Foundation for Educational Excellence proudly looks back over a decade of enhancing and supplementing learning opportunities for students, staff, and the community.

​

Mini Grant Awards

The Teacher Mini-Grants Program continues to be a primary focus for the Foundation. The Program offers a once a year opportunity for teachers to apply for educational enrichment programs and projects beyond the school budget. A pottery wheel and kiln, drum kits, foreign exchange, video equipment, virtual dissection programs, and stage risers are only a few of the nearly $100,000 awarded to date.

​

Special Projects

​

The Foundation accomplishes its mission by funding major projects. At the Foundation's onset, the Blissfield Environmental Life Lab (B.E.L.L.) received nearly $130,000 in Foundation funding.

​

Today, the Foundation fittingly marks its anniversary with the community-wide development of the $600,000 Blissfield Community Sports Park.
