Alamo Navajo School Board, Inc. has announced that its Early Childhood Division has been awarded a grant for $706,981 to help in preschool preparation for Alamo children, and to prepare Alamo High School students in their transition to college.
The grant is part of $3.5 million distributed by the U.S. Dept of Education’s Office of Indian Education. The $706,981 will be dispersed over four years.
The school has already received the first payment in the amount of $197,360.
ANSBI Grants Manager Gail Campbell said Colleen Alivado, the Early Childhood Division Director, will be implementing the new initiatives in September.
The grant money will be used to improve children’s literary environment, improve oral language usage, develop early reading readiness skills, improve family literacy, and improve children’s literary acquisition.
