The Batavia Foundation for Educational Excellence (BFEE) has recently founded the John Heath Music Educator Grant. The purpose of this grant is to fund special projects or initiatives focused on music. Classroom teachers, music teachers, and community organizations with innovative ideas focused on music may apply for this grant.
The John Heath Music Educator grant was founded as a way to recognize the contributions of a much beloved educator and active community member. For twenty-two years, John Heath inspired scores of high school band students and delighted Bulldog fans with his impressive marching band half-time shows. After retirement, he and Dr. Linda Schielke formed the Community Band.
We would like to offer you the opportunity to make a financial donation to the John Heath Music Educator grant. The Batavia Foundation for Educational Excellence is a 501c3 organization intended to support and enhance Batavia Public Schools and the Batavia Community with special projects and grants. All monetary donations will go back directly to the students and families of Batavia. In the case of the John Heath Music Educator Grant, the grant will directly fund initiatives focused on music education.
