Curry Jaynes latest HTT winner

Curry Jaynes, second grade teacher at Hunter Elementary, is the latest Northeast Community Credit Union Helping Teachers Teach grant winner.

Jaynes applied for the grant to purchase science projects and experiments for her classroom.

“We want to watch caterpillars turn to butterflies,” Jaynes said. “We want to do electricity, magnetic and chemical reaction experiments. Hands-on learning is so much better than watching a video. The students will remember it and learn more by doing this actual experiments!”
