Education is one of the most powerful resources to give a community.
At Jones-Onslow EMC, community service begins with the education of the community s children. The Bright Ideas Grant Program distributes mini-grants that support creative educational initiatives that cannot be covered by traditional school financing. The grants supplement state and local funds and are awarded in all disciplines to help public school teachers and principals enhance their efforts to provide a rich educational experience for their students. Some of the grants provide continued funding for projects begun in previous years. Materials and supplies purchased by educators with their Bright Ideas grant money will be used year after year.
