Project Ignite
Ananya Vinay, Clovis Unified student and 2017 winner of the 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee, has a passion for learning and giving back to her community. In 2019, this passion inspired her to organize Project Ignite with contributions designated to funding innovative opportunities that engage students in learning and mastering essential skills in language arts and STEM. Now in its third year, Project Ignite has provided much-needed educational resources to Westside Elementary, a rural district located in the west part of Fresno County. These resources include Kindles, library books and electronic resources. Project Ignite also supports students through its mentoring program offering academic support to a group of Fresno County students. The Foundation @ FCOE is proud to partner with Ananya and steward the Project Ignite Fund!
