Ben Franklin Academy is excited to announce that we are a recipient of the Collaborative SCFD Grant for the 2022-23 school year! Thanks to some of our specials teachers, Ali Hinkle, Jaime Johnson, and Laura Tickle, our school will receive $10,000 worth of workshops, field trips, assemblies, an in-school exhibit, and other learning opportunities from various arts, culture and science organizations. These are all funded by the SCFD, a sales and use tax, in the 7-county Denver Metro area. All students will benefit from one or more programs!
We’ll be working with Arvada Center, Butterfly Pavilion, Central City Opera, CherryArts, Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus, Colorado Ballet, Colorado Children’s Chorale, Colorado Symphony, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Lakewood Cultural Center, Swallow Hill Music, Town of Parker, Parker Arts, and Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, among others!
Your tax dollars fund these programs, but we want to give a shout out to our specials teachers who applied for this grant on behalf of our students! Thank you and we hope all our students enjoy these programs.
