Teacher of the
Month
Teacher of the Year
Capital Educators
Federal Credit Union is proud to introduce our new grant program
for teachers called: Teacher of the Month/Teacher of the
Year.
This program will run from
September 2008 through May 2009.
It is part of our Mission to invest back into
the education community based on our Charter that created our
member-based Credit Union in 1936.
We
will select two Teachers of the Month from grant applications
submitted that month from within our field of membership area,
which includes the fifteen (15) southwestern Idaho
counties.
Each Teacher of the Month
selected will receive a $750.00 grant.
In
June 2009, a Teacher of the Year will be selected and they will
be awarded a $2,500.00 grant to be used the following school
year. The
program is designed to help teachers pay for programs,
materials, special projects, or field trips for the students in
their classrooms.
The program ideas are not limited
to those listed here because we believe there are many
innovative teachers that will come up with new and creative
ideas for their students.
We also know that financial
resources are stretched thin in classrooms across the region and
this new grant program is an effort to help teachers and
students explore additional educational opportunities they might
not otherwise enjoy.
Every month public,
charter, and private school teachers in K-12 in our membership
area will be eligible for the
Teacher of the Month
grant.
We will give TWO
grants per month: one to a teacher in the larger school
districts (4A and 5A Districts) and one to a teacher in the
smaller school districts (3A, 2A, and 1A), which includes
charter, private, and other schools.
Teachers are eligible for only one
monthly grant during the school year.
We
will be giving two
Teacher of the Year awards in June 2009 to teachers, one
in the large and one in the small district categories.
ALL teachers will be
eligible for the $2,500.00 Teacher of the Year award to be given
in June 2009 and used for the following school year.
The first monthly
awards will be given in September 2008 and continue through May
of 2009.
The Selection Committee will notify
the two Teachers of the Month recipients within ten days of the
application deadline (10th of each month).
Each Teacher will be awarded a
check in their name during a recognition event at their school.
The application forms, eligible
schools, and details about the program are available online at
www.capedfcu.org or
can be picked up at any of the six CapEd locations in
Ada
and
Canyon County.
The deadline for each month’s grant
is the 10th of the month.
Applications or questions can be submitted
to any of the CapEd locations, sent to Kathy Palumbo in the
Meridian office by fax at 208-855-0482, or emailed
to Kathy@capedfcu.org.

If you are awarded either the Teacher of the Month or the
Teacher of the Year grants, please send us the details (and

we can report to the Selection Committee on how the money was
spent and how the project benefited the students.
