A local teacher was the recipient of a special grant.
Carol Szabo, a teacher at Bradleyville School, received a grant from the Missouri Retired Teachers Foundation. The grant allows Szabo to purchase needed items, for which there is no funding, for her classroom needs.
Teachers from schools throughout Missouri submitted applications for the $500 classroom grants. A total of 84 grants were awarded statewide.
Said Martha Schatz, representing the Retired Teachers Foundation, "These grants are given out to Missouri teachers every year, and the money is raised by retired teachers who are members of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association. On behalf of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association and the Missouri Retired Teachers Foundation, we are pleased to present Carol with this grant for her classroom this year."
The next MRTF grant process will begin in the spring of 2025.
The local chapter of the Retired Teachers Association—the Tri-Lakes Chapter—meets the second Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. at the Library Center of the Ozarks, located at 200 South 4th Street in Branson. Retired teachers and public school personnel are encouraged to attend.
