Matching Grant Program
Thanks to an extraordinarily generous donor, we now fund Bourne teacher grants, student scholarships, and Science at the Schoolhouse events. This enables the Schoohouse to be as relevant in the 21st century as it was in the 19th and 20th centuries. We appreciate the support of our community in this endeavor.
