Principal’s Awards for Teachers
The mini-grant program supports teachers who create meaningful learning experiences beyond standard classroom rote memorization and encourage students to apply their newly learned words and concepts in conversations outside the classroom. Priority goes to projects that enable and empower students to share new knowledge in voluntary “show-and-tell” with their families and friends. The projects are listed below to share with the Morgan County community the diverse ideas that students learned in projects created by Morgan County teachers.
