Dublin Scioto High School’s US Veterans Round Table and sharing project received a DEF Grant submitted by DSHS teacher John Witt. Students shared stories of personal relatives or others who have served in our armed services. The deep dive into the ‘why’ behind the service helps bring life and a sense of connection to the history class Mr. Witt teaches.
Columbus Financial Concepts is excited to support the Dublin Education Foundation.
“DEF gives me an opportunity to step in & support the efforts of the great educators we have in Dublin City Schools.
The fact that these are teacher proposed initiatives means that people are involved in students lives know what is needed.” – Cap Clegg
