Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, has been busy choosing more recipients for their mini-grant program. The spring 1998 series of grants were awarded last Wednesday during teachers meetings at both schools. Applications for the grants had been distributed to teachers in December of 1997.
At the elementary school, a joint grant was awarded to third grade teachers Beth Tillinghast and Corrine Smith. Their students will use the grant money to write and publish a civics booklet on Rappahannock County, which can then be used by future classes to learn about the county.
Fifth grade teacher Paul Tieche was awarded a grant for the entire school which will be used to purchase additional dies for the Ellison machine. This machine is a great help to teachers in preparing displays and teaching aids for their classrooms, and the additional dies will provide a wider range of opportunities for creativity.
Layne Vickers will use her grant money to help her fourth graders write and illustrate their own hardbound books, which will then be kept as part of the class library. The students will be able to come back in future years and read their books to new students.
Gifted and Talented teacher Amy Gubler received a grant to create a literary magazine and calendar with her fifth, sixth and seventh grade classes. This project will not start until the fall, but she needed a pledge of support now in order to apply for matching funds.
RCES teacher Sherry Hafter was given a grant to purchase a portable Eiki Language Master, which is used to enhance vocabulary
