Teacher Grants
The Tuscaloosa City Schools and the Tuscaloosa County Schools were both represented recently with the presentation of grants for classroom teachers. In the past 5 years the CFWA has given $1 million to education in the form of teacher grants, scholarships, gifts to higher ed, etc. We are very thankful for our classroom teachers.
Holidays are for the Children
Each year in December the CFWA funds a special day for selected children from the elementary schools in the Tuscaloosa County School System. This is a favorite event for the Foundation.
Druid City Garden Project
The CFWA has partnered with the Druid City Garden Project several times to bring this wonderful experience to some of our local elementary schools. Here is a picture of the students from Cresmont Elementary in Northport receiving instruction prior to harvesting and preparing their vegetables.
Friends of Historic Northport
