$27K in CBEF Grants to Support Enrichment

A traveling art gallery, a student television studio, and scientific research equipment are among the projects receiving support through more than $27,000 in 2026-27 grants awarded by the Central Bucks Education Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit. Funded by donations from families, businesses, and community members, this year’s grants will support learning at all grade levels.

High School Grants

• At CB East, new darkroom enlargers and accessories will give photography students hands-on experience developing photographs and creating traditional silver gelatin prints.

• At CB West, two new 3D printers will allow students in the 3D Modeling and Animation curriculum to turn digital designs into physical prototypes.

• At CB South, a STEM Research Equipment Lending Library will give students access to scientific equipment for research projects and competitions.

• Students from all three high schools will benefit from the CB STEM Year 2 Mission, which includes robotics masterclasses, career-building events with professional judges, a structured internship cohort and an ongoing partnership with the Bucks IU CAD/Engineering/Robotics lab.

Middle School Grants

• Students at all five middle schools will experience Art on the Move, a traveling art gallery designed to expand access to and engagement with the arts.

Elementary School Grants

• At Butler, students will help create and produce school television programming, including announcements and student-produced video segments, through the Butler TV Studio.

• At Doyle, Storybook STEM will connect reading with hands-on STEM challenges in the library, encouraging students to solve problems and create designs inspired by stories.

• At Linden, students will explore coding and artificial intelligence through LEGO Education Computer Science & AI kits as part of Storytelling to Coding: Bringing AI to Elementary Animation.
