Dime Bank Presents a $3,000 Grant to the Interdistrict School for Arts
and Communication
News Release - December 30, 2008
(Norwich, CT) - Dime Bank Foundation recently presented a $3,000
grant to New London's Interdistrict School for Arts and Communications
(ISAAC). ISAAC is a free, public middle school option for students in
southeastern Connecticut. It is a state charter school with sixth, seventh
and eighth students from the 12-town area.
"Dime is a continued supporter of ISAAC, and I've always been impressed
with their genuine interest in our programs," said Migdalia Salas,
capital campaign and annual funds manager, and mother of an ISAAC student.
"As a charter school, we don't get the same amount of funding as
public schools, so we rely on the generosity of local businesses and organizations.
Dime really believes in our kids and our curriculum."
With Dime Foundation's grant, ISAAC will help ensure its students' academic
success in mathematics. With the funds, the school will purchase classroom
materials and acquire computer software. These new tools will address
students' needs in an individualized manner. ISAAC carefully researched
various software programs and technology to meet the needs of its student
body.
ISAAC is populated with students from East Lyme, Groton, Ledyard, Lyme,
Montville, New London, North Stonington, Old Lyme, Preston, Salem, Stonington
and Waterford.
