Three
$200 grants were awarded recently to several local teachers. These funds will enable them to purchase
supplies that will enhance their classroom instruction.
Classroom
Grant Applications were distributed to each of the four county public school
districts (Silex, Elsberry, Troy and Winfield) and were open to those teaching Pre-K
through 12th grade. Teachers
were asked to describe their class and how the funds would be used. Applications were submitted by teachers from
three of the four districts.
Heather
Bauer, K-12 Art Teacher at Silex, plans to use her funds to help pay for
supplies to hook up new technology in her classroom.
Katie
Maixner, ‘Class within a Class’ teacher at the Troy Ninth Grade Center, Troy,
will use her funds to purchase Interactive Notebook resources to enhance the
learning for her Algebra 1 students.
Heather
Dahm, Fourth Grade Teacher at Winfield Intermediate, will be using her funds to
build her classroom environment with resources for reading and math. A first year teacher, Heather would like to
create a learning environment where her students are excited to come each day.
The
Lincoln County Area School Personnel make these Classroom Grants available each
year to our four local school districts.
Members feel it is a great way to thank our local teachers for
encouraging a new generation of lifelong learners.
