  • Please donate to the Friends' Grants for Teachers program. Funds allow Arlington Public School teachers to pursue professional development in STEM education: take a class, participate in a workshop, or attend a conference. Our teachers do an amazing job with our students. Their inspiring lessons can make a phenomenal difference in a student's attitude towards science and math. Let us show our appreciation by helping them stay current in their field. #ArlingtonVA #stemeducation #teachers #professionaldevelopment #grants
