Sno-King School Retirees awards 42 grants to classroom teachers in Edmonds and Shoreline

Each fall Sno-King School Retirees' active members are invited to apply for grants of up to $200 to facilitate special projects they'd like to carry out … if only they had the money. These projects are intended to enrich the school experience of students they work with.

During these tough economic times schools are experiencing, money is tight so a few extra dollars come in handy. SKSR enjoys identifying and facilitating the creative ideas of our active members. Since starting this program during the 1998-1999 school year, and including this one, SKSR has awarded almost $55,000 in grants.

Recipients of 2014-2015 grants are:

EDMONDS: Pamela Bader, Louise Barnes,Tanya King-Bazor, Marilyn Hall, Peggy Hohnhaus, Ruth Kenney, Mary Magill, Jennifer Martin, Kim Mason, Janice Maxson, Courtney McCready, Jodi Mackey, Joan Pederson, Tammy Reardon, Lisa Shearer, Heather Slettebak, Janet Tucker, Cathy Reighter, Jill Walzer, Ellen Winningham and Cathi Wrolstad.
