The Kiwanis Club of Menlo Park has given a total $97,888 in educational grants to local students, club spokesman Richard Golden has announced.
Scholarships totaling $75,000 were given to 14 college-bound students from Menlo-Atherton High School and East Palo Alto Academy, he said.
The club gave $9,793 for reference and operational software for Ravenswood City School District libraries. The software also provides reference materials, including the World Book Encyclopedia, to all 3,900 Ravenswood district students from preschool through eighth grade with home access and multilingual capability, Mr. Golden said in a press release.
In response to a proposal from the East Palo Alto Kids' Foundation, the Kiwanis Club gave $8,595 to Willow Oaks School to buy math instruction software for students and teachers in 12 classrooms.
In addition, the club gave $4,500 for specialized playground equipment at the Heritage Oak Children's Center, the name of the preschool/occupational therapy building at Laurel School in Atherton.
