Little Idea Hunt Grants
We believe that the ICCSD has the best teachers! And our Little Idea Hunt is one way we can show these incredible teachers some love and support. Little Idea Hunt grants are awarded to ICCSD teachers for classroom needs and extras. Thanks to gifts to our Teacher Tuesday campaign and the Excellence Fund, we fund Little Idea Hunt requests from every school in our District!
Our 24-25 Little Idea Hunt distributed over $70,000 in funds to ICCSD classroom teachers! 147 local teachers from every school in the District benefit from these awards, fostering creativity, engagement, and enhanced learning experiences for students.
