The Cheatham County School District is pleased to be the recipient of more than $13,000 in teacher grants, which were provided through a cooperative effort between the A. O. Smith Foundation and Cheatham County Chamber of Commerce.
Through a competitive application process, teachers across the district submitted grant proposals to fund unique classroom projects not already funded through the regular school budget.
Lisa Williams, human resource manager at A. O. Smith, said, “It’s a great honor to award the teachers in Cheatham County grants through the A. O. Smith Foundation. This year we were able to provide 29 grants totaling $13,196. As always, the teachers came up with some creative projects, and we look forward to visiting the classrooms to see the projects come to life.”
Misty Keenan, executive director of the Cheatham County Chamber of Commerce said, “The Chamber is honored to partner with A. O. Smith on the grant program again this year. One of the Chamber’s goals is to help develop the workforce in the county and this is one way we can achieve that. With this partnership, we can support the creative training of our youth.”
The grant recipients were announced during the recent countywide in-service.
Dr. Tara Watson, the school district’s chief academic officer, said, “The generous support from A. O. Smith and the Chamber bring a new dynamic to our classrooms. Many teachers took advantage of the opportunity to submit grant proposals, and we are thankful that the grants will enhance the educational opportunities for our students.”
