Johns, who teaches self-contained Life Skills to students in grades 6-8, will use the grant to revamp her classroom, with funds for paint, carpet, tile, furniture and other decorative or functional supplies not typically provided by the school. As part of the application process, Johns submitted “before” photos of her classroom and will later provide “after” images showcasing the transformation.
