Two grants were awarded to teachers in Connecticut.
The
Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union (TVTFCU) in Enfield, CT is pleased
to announce the recipients of their 2023 Teacher Grant Award. The credit union
began this program in an effort to assist their members who are educators in
funding equipment, supplies, or training.
The recipients this year are Carolyn Martin-Taylor, Building
Instructor, Personal Finance at Windsor High School in Windsor, Connecticut and
Chris Scioscio, Art Teacher at Enfield High School in Enfield, Connecticut.
Ms. Martin-Taylor is using her grant funds
to continue her education with training and materials to assist her in
providing the highest quality education for her students.
Mr.
Scioscio is using his grant
funds to purchase clay and glaze
to create bowls for an interdisciplinary fundraiser hosted by the ceramics and
culinary programs. The ceramic students will create hundreds of ceramic bowls
while the culinary students will make homemade soups. These bowls of soup will be sold during the annual Art
Festival. All proceeds will be donated to the Enfield Food Shelf.
“With
increasing restraints on budgets and funding for educators, we wanted to offer
assistance. Our grant is open to our members who are educators at schools within
our field of membership. Two grants are available annually. It is our hope that
this funding will add to the level of education that is offered to our area
students.” said Lori Triba, Manager/CEO for the Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal
