- Monsanto Fund: The Amphi Foundation has received a $10,000 Monsanto Fund grant to expand a STEM education program to five elementary schools. Project Lead the Way is an activity- and problem-based program in which students have to apply math and science to real world problems. The program is already being utilized in Amphitheater School District middle schools. Now, elementary students at Copper Creek, Innovation Academy, Mesa Verde, Painted Sky and Prince elementary schools have been added to that list. The grant is helping to purchase program curriculum, iPads, and science kit materials. The Monsanto Fund is the philanthropic arm of Monsanto Company.
