Brittany Boone Latest HTT Winner

Brittany Boone, English teacher and drama/theater sponsor for Cloudland High School, is the latest Northeast Community Credit Union Helping Teachers Teach grant winner.

Boone applied for the Helping Teachers Teach to help purchase costumes, backdrops, and microphones for an upcoming school production of Alice in Wonderland.

“Drama is such a wonderful experience for students,” Boone said. “The program gives students an opportunity to practice and hone public speaking, organization, reading, memorization, and artistic skills. Not to mention the bonds it builds between students.”

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.
