 Sandy Creek Nature Center, Inc.’s Founders Award 2017
PROGRAM SUMMARY
The Board of Directors of Sandy Creek Nature (SCNC, Inc.) is looking for teachers who are passionate about teaching science and dedicated to challenging and supporting all students.
The Founders Award seeks to encourage, recognize, and promote science education in the Clarke County School District by providing a one-time stipend of $300 to one elementary, middle, and high school science teacher.
Funds may be used for classroom materials, i.e. books, consumables, resources for the teacher, or enrichment activities such as field trips. A short narrative will be required by the end of the school year describing how the funds were used. Receipts will not be necessary.
Award recipients will be recognized at the Annual Meeting of Sandy Creek Nature Center, Inc., in press releases, and at their school at the beginning of the 2017 school year.
2017 Application Deadline: March 17, 2017
Notification Date: August 1, 2017
Amount of each award: $300
MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR APPLICATION
Application cover sheet that includes: name
current mailing address (home or school)
telephone number
e-mail address
CCSD school in which you teach

One short essay that clearly describes your commitment to science education.

One lesson plan for which these funds might be used.
