Innovative Schools Project

What incredible evenings celebrating outstanding school teams and recognizing Randy Thompson of Menahga Public School as the 2026 Innovative Teacher of the Year — proving that great teachers don’t just inspire students, they inspire entire communities.

Thank you to Sourcewell for hosting fantastic Educators of Excellence events!

Since 2016, BPSF has received a $5,000 grant each year from the Innovative Schools Project. These funds go directly toward our teacher grants- helping educators across our district bring fresh, creative, and innovative ideas into their classrooms.
We are incredibly grateful for the work they do to support districts like ours.
