     Each school year the Santa Rosa Art Association, Inc, which meets monthly seeks to award monies to help fulfill art program needs to the Santa Rosa County education. Last August, about 30 SRC art educators were given application and asked to apply for the 2 annual $400 SRAA art grants. All submissions were worthy and met the final deadline. All identifying teacher's names and school information was omitted from the ballots during voting. Each member of the large Art Grant Committee was asked to review the requests and choose their top five choices.

     When the voting was so close on the top five choices, several SRAA members decided to be SRAA "secret angels" so that three more requests for $400 would also be given out this year. SRAA grant checks were delivered to the teachers at their respective schools on December 9, 2025.

     Each teacher grant recipient gave their final report on April 25, 2026, at the Chamber of Commerce meeting room.

​

 Congratulations to these five art teachers. We are very thankful for the educational leadership, the support of administrators, and the quality art programs being offered in our Santa Rosa County School System.
