Environmental
Education Teacher Grants |
| The Kankakee County Soil and Water Conservation
District is again pleased to announce that it has offered a grant program
for environmental/natural resource/agricultural education. The District
offered eight $250 grants to teachers in Kankakee County to be used for
materials, speakers or other needs that the teacher identifies. To apply
for a grant, a teacher needed to provide the District with a one page,
double
spaced letter on school letterhead describing the project. If the teacher
is the winner of a grant, the District would like a follow up letter
at
the end of the school year with pictures and descriptions of the project
or event. The
winners of the 2007 grants were announced at the District’s
Annual Meeting that was held on February 1, 2007. They
were Heidi Munsterman, Jr. High Science at St. Anne Grade School,
Jeanne Capriotti at Bradley Bourbonnais High School, Frank Petkunas
at Bradley Bourbonnais High School, Linda Trandel at Shabbona Elementary
School, Judy Dayton at Grant Park High School, Nancy Beagle at
Chebanse Elementary School, Marcia Czerwionka at Manteno Elementary
School and Deborah Adams at Aroma Park Elementary School. These
teachers
also
received
the
book Creating Habitats and Homes for Illinois Wildlife for
their classrooms. We look forward to being able to offer these
grants again next year. |
