The community recently passed a bond issue, which will mean a new media center and computer lab for the school, more classrooms and additional office space. We just have to work a little harder and be a little more creative to get some of the things we want for our kids. And a little smarter, too, some might say. Hammer and her staff use to help level the playing field. Every summer a group of elementary teachers gathers around Ann Hammer s kitchen table to polish grant applications.
Teamwork pays off.
Canton is a leader in receipt of ISE grants. Children are our No. 1 priority. Evidence of the school's child-centered mission is abundant. With the help of ISE grants, a former church building next to the school has been converted into an early-childhood center. Upstairs, a day-care center allows teachers and high school students to concentrate on school, knowing their children are nearby, receiving good care.
