The Blooming Prairie School District has been given a grant of nearly $13,000 by the Otto Bremer Foundation.
The grant funds will be used to supply updates to the preschool. This includes about $7,000 that would go into technology upgrades for preschool students, like acquisition of iPads. Remaining funds will be used to upgrade or replace items like kitchen sets and carpeting that are already outdated.
