Ed Foundation grants wishes
Teachers get checks for classroom, learning supplies
By Donnita Fisher
Managing Editor
Led by a drum line, clad in
Canton green and carrying
plastic hand clappers and six-
foot long checks, the Canton
Education Foundation and
supporters of Canton ISD
schools gathered April 11 to
bestow almost $30,000 of
grants to classroom teachers.
“This is going to be used
well,” said Susan Wood,
CISD’s dyslexia coordinator.
Wood received a grant
worth $4,990 for the
Kurzweil Firefly 3000, a
reading, writing and learning
software that is designed for
students with learning chal-
lenges.
The grant was underwrit-
ten by Legacy Dental and will
be used at all campuses at all
grade levels.
“This is fun,” said Dennis
Clarkson of Rotary after pre-
senting an oversized check
for $7,794 to the Intermedi-
ate School library. The Ro-
tary Club grant was submit-
ted by Khaki Toups.
Other teacher grants
awarded include:
$4,925 - Real Baby Care

Van Zandt County Child Welfare Board: Part of bigger picture
By Robin Youngblood
Guest writer
Many Van Zandt county
citizens may not be aware of
the local Child Welfare
Board, but the board is an
integral part of the network
of child-centered service or-
ganizations that help to sup-
port Van Zandt county chil-
dren in the foster care system.
The Van Zandt County
Child Welfare board is made
up of volunteers throughout
the community who work in
cooperation with the state
agency staff who deliver the
Child Protective Services
program at the grass-roots
level.
The CWB falls under the
jurisdiction of the local
county commissioner’s court.
In the state of Texas, county
boards contribute $20 to $30
million annually to meet the
needs of children in the fos-
ter care system that cannot be
met by the limited state fund-
ing of the Texas Department
of Family and Protective Ser-
vices, according the Texas
Council for Child Welfare
Boards’ website.
The Child Welfare Board
allocates federal, state and lo-
cal funds to accommodate
some of these needs includ-
ing birthday presents, Christ-
mas gifts and various school-
related items like sports
equipment. These are the
things that make a child feel
like a child.
Many of the children in the
foster care system have been
abused and/or grossly ne-
glected. They have been re-
moved from their home. Our
county, through the Child
Welfare Board, can provide
some sort of bright moment
in their current dark situation.
The CWB also works very
closely with other local orga-
nizations to raise awareness
for child abuse and neglect.
