Decas Elementary School teacher Jessica Dinsmoor was among those who received a total of $39,956 in classroom grants at this year's Cape Cod Five 19th Annual Educational Mini-Grants Awards & Reception on Jan. 16. Approximately 100 local educators came together at the awards reception, which took place at Cape Cod Community College.
Since the inception of the Educational Mini-Grants Program in 2000, Cape Cod 5 has awarded 1,100 Mini-Grants totaling $454,145. Public educators from all grade levels in the communities served by the bank are eligible for the award and submit their applications in the fall.
