Grow Grant
GROW stands for Gathering Reflection while Observing the World.
GROW, established by Jennifer Hanley Armstrong ’00 and Gregory Armstrong, provides a financial award to deserving faculty or staff members at Maryvale Preparatory School. This grant award will be used towards the personal or professional enrichment of a faculty or staff member. Knowing that educational enrichment and travel experiences (both domestic and international travel) rejuvenate and motivate educators, it is expected that this award will directly benefit the educational experience of Maryvale students.
