Congratulations Mary!

Our APLE member Mary Stuckmeier, at Tynes Elementary, received California Casualty’s $250.00 Music Arts Grant, which is awarded each year.

California Casualty understands the value of creative programs in education, and the challenge of securing funding for such endeavors. A Music and Arts Grant from California Casualty will help students access choir, band, dance, film, theater, computer arts and graphics or any K-12 curriculum that employs art for learning – virtually or in-person.

“The importance of the arts can’t be overstated,” said California Casualty AVP Brian Goodman. “It is a sincere honor to support our educators in providing more creative opportunities for students.”

California Casualty wants to make sure as many students as possible get a chance to have a classroom art project, learn music, act in a school play, or hone their artistic talents, by providing $250 for under-funded programs.

California Casualty’s Music and Arts Grant program receives applications year-round. To be considered for the award, educators at public K-12 schools can apply for a $250 Music and Arts Grant at www.calcasmusicartsgrant.com. Applicants must be a current member of the state NEA affiliate or one of the other participating educator associations.
