M-DCPS CLASSROOM PROJECTS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING THROUGH FUEL YOUR SCHOOL PROGRAM DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) classroom projects may be eligible for funding through the Fuel Your School program. Chevron will donate $1, up to $500,000, for local public K-12 schools when customers purchase eight or more gallons of fuel at participating Chevron and Texaco stations in Miami-Dade County, during the month of October.

The Fuel Your School Program will fund eligible classroom projects submitted by Miami-Dade public school teachers Sept. 1 through Nov. 30 at DonorsChoose.org for student supplies and materials, up to $2,000.* In addition to Miami-Dade County, the Chevron and DonorsChoose.org collaboration is introducing the Fuel Your School Program in more than a dozen other U.S. metropolitan areas.
