Katie Pryor - Jasper Elementary - $800.00 To fund “Growing Despite Obstacles!” math and reading project.

Creative, dedicated teachers who challenge their students to go beyond the normal curriculum and who provide hands on learning opportunities are truly helping to Build a Brighter Tennessee. Often these teachers reach deep into their own pockets to fund these projects.

Through the SVEC Bright Ideas grant program for local educators, Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative recently awarded $21,650.88 in grants to local schools to bring to life these creative, hands-on projects that engage students in fun and innovative ways. SVEC’s original pledge of $10,000 was increased to almost $12,000 and was then nearly doubled by a matching grant of $10,000 from SVEC’s financial partner, CoBank. With this additional grant, SVEC was able to fully fund all 12 of the excellent applications received. And the winners are…
