Coosa Elementary School teachers receive big grants

Last week several teachers from Coosa Elementary were surprised with balloons and oversized checks by members of the BCSD Foundation for Educational Excellence. These teachers applied and were awarded Innovative Teacher Grants for the fall award cycle! Mrs. Jernigan was awarded a grant for our Media Center titled “Get Graphic: The World in Worlds and Pictures” to purchase graphic novels for all students to enjoy. Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Pulaski, Mrs. Evans, and Mrs. Pope were awarded funds for “Nothing could be finer than teaching SC History” to assist in teaching our 3rd graders about South Carolina History through literature. Congratulations to these proactive teachers who saw a need and a way to fill it for the students!
