Menchaca Staff Awarded Education Foundation Grants

May 3, 2026 by melaniemorgan

We are thrilled to share that Menchaca Early Childhood Center has been awarded 2 of only 7 Education Foundation grants—an incredible achievement that reflects the innovation and dedication of our team!

Dr. Melanie Morgan’s “Transforming Play” project will enhance our DoSeum by creating enriched, play-based learning environments that support early childhood development through exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences.

Ms. Salina Ramirez’s “Cardinal Cardboard” project brings imagination to life through cardboard construction, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and collaborative learning among our little Cardinals.

We are so proud of Dr. Morgan and Ms. Ramirez for their initiative, vision, and commitment to providing meaningful learning opportunities for all students. Their work will have a lasting impact on our campus and the young minds we serve! ❤️🐦
