The Kennebec Retired Educators Association awards two $200 grants to two educators in Kennebec County for classroom use.

The grants will supplement expenses for student-centered, inter-disciplinary projects and may be expended for materials used in the classroom, speakers’ fees, and project development expenses.

The grant description and applications have been disseminated to every principal in all 54 elementary, middle, and high schools in 31 cities and towns in Kennebec County. The principals have made them available to the classroom teachers.

“Students and teachers remain our primary focus long after we leave our classrooms,” said Marshalyn Baker of Belgrade, chairperson of the Innovative Classroom Grant Committee and retired educator, in a news release from the association.

Grant applications must be submitted by Monday, Oct. 30. The winning applicants will be notified in early November and receive the grant money at that time.
