On Tuesday, July 11, the Elkhorn Community Foundation announced its six grant recipients. Winners included Boulder Elementary School’s 21st Century program, which will use the funds to pay for an Americore Vista Volunteer. Jefferson High School’s drama club was also a winner. The funds will go toward the performance of Mike Hesford’s original play “Abundance” at Butte’s Mother Lode Theatre. Southwest Montana Youth Partners also received a grant to cover costs for an outside play area at Boulder’s Discovery Kidzone preschool and daycare center. The Friends of the County Museum received a grant to assist with wall repair at the museum and Clancy Elementary School received a grant for the development of a community garden and for the second grade “science of reading” program.
The Elkhorn Foundation gives out grants every year. This year the foundation gave out approximately $5,600. Board member Erica Morris said the foundation tries to spread the grant money throughout the Jefferson High School district, which covers Boulder, Basin, Clancy, Montana City and Elkhorn.
