2022 Classroom Technology Grant Winners

The funds for the Classroom Technology grants come from WEMC members who agree to round up their light bill to the nearest whole dollar through the WE Care Program. For example, if the bill is $190.91 – the bill will be rounded up 9 cents to $191.00. These pennies add up to major dollars.
