MEF Grant: Students delve into artistic creations | McAllen ISD 

Students at McAllen ISD's Perez Elementary are exploring their creative sides thanks to a generous grant from the McAllen Education Foundation. Canvas Connections is an idea from teacher Jessica Garza. Her students are not only learning to draw and paint but also learning about self-expression, self-reflection, acceptance and emotional exploration.
The McAllen Education Foundation was formed in 1996. In its history, the foundation has funded 422 grants worth nearly $565,223 and benefited more than 59,805 students. The Foundation provides support to help foster excellence and enhance educational opportunities for students in McAllen ISD by funding Innovative Teaching Grants. The Foundation is a philanthropic, tax-exempt, public corporation that operates independently of McAllen ISD and is governed by a board made up of business and civic leaders from the community. For information on sponsorship opportunities, visit the Foundation website at www.mcallenisd... or call 956-618-6023.
MITV is the television station owned and operated by McAllen ISD.
