SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) – The San Juan Education Foundation recently announced the awarding of educator grants to six schools across the San Juan Unified School District, made possible through generous support from the Link Logistics Community Grants Program.

These grants fund transformational, site-based projects that strengthen learning environments, expand access to modern tools and technology, and remove barriers to student success.

Grant Funded Projects

$26,000 to Casa Roble High School will fund upgrades to the school’s theatre lighting system, providing students with hands-on experience with industry-standard technology while enhancing safety, instruction and performance quality.

$20,000 to Mira Loma High School will fund modernization of the Black Box Theatre lighting and control systems to create a safer, more equitable performing arts space and provide students with real-world technical learning opportunities.

$20,000 to Dyer-Kelly Elementary School will fund improvements to instructional technology and student seating to support inclusive learning environments, strengthen performing arts instruction and expand access for English Learner and intervention students.

Coyle Avenue Elementary School will receive $19,000. Funding will add shade structures to outdoor spaces, creating cooler, flexible learning areas that support differentiated instruction, collaboration and whole-child learning.

$14,000 will go to Will Rogers Middle School, funding professional-grade media equipment to strengthen the school’s student-produced news program, amplifying student voice and increasing accessibility through improved production capabilities.

Albert Schweitzer Elementary School will receive $5,000. The purchase of adaptive tricycles will create more inclusive and joyful play opportunities for transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students of all abilities.

Funding for these projects was made possible through the receipt of a $100,000 grant from Link Logistics’ Community Grants Program, which supports nonprofit organizations through infrastructure investments that expand operational capacity and community impact.

“The San Juan Education Foundation is incredibly fortunate to benefit from Link Logistics’ Community Grants Program,” said Colleen Cadwallader, executive director of the San Juan Education Foundation. “Thanks to their leadership and the support of our community, we recently surpassed a major milestone – more than $1 million in grant funding awarded to San Juan Unified educators since 2006.”

Guided by the vision of a San Juan Unified School District where funding is not a barrier to equitable opportunity and access, the San Juan Education Foundation harnesses the power of philanthropy and partnership to propel student achievement and enrich the lives of educators.
