Literacy-related projects and those involving technology were favorites of grant applicants, but overall the winning entries demonstrated the range of teachers’ interests, from the arts to the environment, and their innovative approaches to getting lessons across.Īshley Joyner, an English teacher at South Lenoir High School, plans to spend her $484 grant winnings on supplies to create a puppet theater. The 12 grants won by Pink Hill Elementary teachers – valued at $10,245 – paced the Tri-County competition.

During that time, we will also share a new recipe and demonstrate how to make it. We want to do three nighttime Zoom club meetings where students and their families learn about a new book. “Our project will involve a book club for students with reading disabilities. “The grant is called ‘Read More, Drink More, Do More’ for yourself and your community,” Taylor explained. “Our outstanding teachers continue to move forward with an inspiring level of determination to do all that they can to create additional resources for learning and even greater opportunities for the young people that we serve.”Īmy Taylor, an Exceptional Children’s teacher at Pink Hill, will use her grant of $975 to boost reading skills, focus on student health and encourage engagement with the community. During this time of continued pandemic and recovery, however, these accomplishments are especially impressive,” Williams added. “Teachers’ great work in seeking additional funding to support the processes of teaching and learning would always be commendable. I also want to thank our teachers and administrators for earning a record-setting number of state-level Bright Ideas grants for a fourth consecutive year,” LCPS Superintendent Brent Williams said. “Congratulations to our LCPS teachers and administrators for leading all educators in a three-county area for another year in the total number of Bright Ideas grants awarded through Tri-County EMC. Those awards are scheduled to be presented at a luncheon in Raleigh on Nov. In that state competition, LCPS teachers won 20 grants.
Electric Cooperatives also sponsors a statewide Bright Ideas grant program and the eight LCPS schools outside Tri-County’s service area are eligible to compete for those awards, capped at $1,500. Tri-County’s Bright Ideas grants are capped at $1,000 and are available to teachers in grades pre-kindergarten through 12th at all schools in the Dudley EMC’s service area. The nine schools eligible in Lenoir County compete against 43 schools in Wayne and Duplin counties.Īll nine schools had at least one grant winner and most had multiple winners the five schools who scored the extra $500 each had at least eight winners.
The value of the 58 grants awarded to LCPS teachers represents a gain against last year of about $3,000 and another dominant annual performance by the district against odds. Lenoir County Public Schools’ teachers won more than half of the 99 Bright Ideas grants awarded by Tri-County EMC on Monday night – a haul worth $45,762 – and five LCPS schools picked up an additional $500 each for having the most grant winners.
