Cairo-Durham CSD is excited to announce that a Stewart's Holiday Match Grant, in the amount of $1,250, was recently awarded to the District!
The Stewart's Holiday Match Grant is a donation-matching program that Stewart's Shops has run since 1986. During the holiday season, generous donations from customers at Stewart's locations across the state are collected and matched by Stewart's. The funds are then allocated to various causes in the form of the Stewart's Holiday Match Grant.
The grant was written to purchase decodable books for students at Cairo-Durham Elementary. A large check was presented to the District by Ken Graham, manager of the Stewart's in Cairo.
Special thanks go to Sarah Hasbrook, a special education teacher, who applied for this grant! Thank you to Stewart's for your support.
