The Duluth Cluster Schools Foundation will host its third annual Gala from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, on the Duluth Town Green.

The event will feature live music, food, drinks, and opportunities to meet others interested in supporting Duluth schools.

For the past two years, the Duluth Cluster Schools Foundation has provided grants to teachers and administrators totaling almost $35,000. These grants are awarded to help schools improve technology-based opportunities and other resources for academic, arts and athletic programs.

Teachers from any of the six Duluth Cluster schools may submit applications for these grants. Gala proceeds fund the grants.
