Cassie Minton, kindergarten teacher at East Side Elementary, is the latest Northeast Community Credit Union Helping Teachers Teach grant winner.
Minton applied for the Helping Teachers Teach grant to help purchase school supplies for her classroom – items such as crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, tissues, paper towels and more.
“These funds will allow my families not to worry about costs for student supplies for the year,” Minton said.
Northeast Community Credit Union awards $300 every month to a classroom to be utilized for classroom needs, classroom activities, and academic enrichment. Helping Teachers Teach is open to teachers within Carter, Johnson, Unicoi, Sullivan and Washington counties who are members of Northeast Community Credit Union. Area teachers may become members online or at any NCCU location and can download the grant application on the credit union’s website: www.BeMyCU.org.
