The Gift of Giving
When we return from Thanksgiving break the Foundations team will kick off the Gift of Giving season. Each of us will purchase a $5 gift and write a sweet and encouraging note that will be given to another staff member anonymously. Once you receive a gift, you are to pay it forward as soon as possible. A staff roster will be posted by the mailboxes. Highlight the staff member’s name that you are gifting so that we know who has already participated. This will continue through to winter break until all staff members have received a gift. Enjoy this season of giving!

Cochran's Crossing Grant Contest
The Cochran’s Crossing Village Association is funding teacher grants again this year.
The Association will sponsor teacher grants at approximately $50.00 each. The number and dollar amount of the grant awards will depend upon the total number of applications received and the judgment of the selection committee. The teachers must complete an enclosed application form. The purpose of the grants is to allow the teachers to fund a project that they would like their classes to participate in and for which they have no other funding source. The deadline for turning in the application forms is January 13, 2020.
Application forms may be emailed to cynthia@kessinger.com. We will judge the applications as soon as possible and inform you of the results.
An awards ceremony will be held at the January quarterly meeting of the Village Association on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at 7:00 PM at The Woodlands Township building located at 2801 Technology Forest Blvd., unless otherwise notified. Teachers are encouraged to attend. We will ask the teachers in attendance to introduce themselves and share a short summary of how the requested funds will be used. The check payable to the school will be presented at the meeting. The amount of the total budgeted award that each participating school receives will be determined based upon the overall level of participation.
GT Maintenance Hours:
It is required that each school year you maintain your GT certification with 6 maintenance hours. Please see the following GT workshop opportunities for November.
