Book Bag Lunch Grant Winners - Sara and Judy!!

Congratulations to Sara Curry and Judy Garner of Rock Hill High. They are among 24 teachers county-wide who have been awarded grants from Family Trust Credit Union for their proposal titled “Book Bag Lunch.” Am I the only one who reads the district updates? Way to go! Now details, ladies, details!! We want to hear all about it!

Speaking of grants, the SDE Teacher Grant Program (or Unit grant if you are feeling industrious and particularly collaborative) are due VERY EARLY this year--in January as a matter of fact. The SDE grant, if you haven't looked at it lately, reads a lot like a mini grant. So if you have an idea for an innovative project---consider writing it up as a teacher grant for $2000.

The district office wants the grants submitted by January 12, 2007 so that appropriate signatures can be obtained in a timely manner.
