Guymon, Okla. (Sept. 18, 2025) – This school year, 48 educators across five states will enhance their classroom learning experiences with the Educators Lead Tomorrow Grants awarded by Seaboard Foods. With more than $40,000 in funding, these grants will support teachers from kindergarten through high school in advancing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
This marks the third year of the grant program, which is awarded to teachers in the five states where Seaboard Foods operates.
“It’s truly inspiring to witness the creativity and commitment of educators who apply for the Educators Lead Tomorrow Grants,” said Davida Gomez, community enrichment specialist at Seaboard Foods. “Their innovative ideas and drive to uplift students and communities reflect the very heart of this program. We’re proud to support their vision to bring new learning experiences to their classrooms.”
Teachers could apply for up to $1,000 to support STEM-based education in their classrooms.
From chicken coops to building blocks, these educators are bettering their classrooms to help students engage with content and be excited about different learning opportunities.
One science teacher plans to use the grant money to purchase herb and pollinator garden materials to help students apply chemistry and biochemistry classroom concepts to real-world situations. A third-grade teacher will use their grant to purchase virtual reality headsets and LEGO sets to introduce basic engineering concepts in a multisensory experience.
The grants reflect Seaboard Foods’ ongoing dedication to supporting the communities in which it operates. By investing in education, Seaboard Foods aims to contribute to the growth and development of local communities.
