According to a Fox 5 Atlanta report, one hundred teachers from the Georgia Teachers Initiative, a statewide network of over 40,000 educators, were each awarded $1,000 in DonorsChoose gift cards to help fund classroom projects.
Another 20 educators were selected to attend the SEC Championship game.
The teachers were honored as part of the festivities surrounding the SEC Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta last weekend.
According to its website, the Georgia Teachers Initiative is a state-wide program dedicated to giving teachers the resources they need and the recognition they deserve as they work tirelessly to prepare Georgia’s PreK-12 students for an optimal life.
Georgia businesses and individuals can support teachers across the state with a tax-deductible gift to Georgia Teachers Initiative and can help fund Teacher Grants for Innovation through GFPE’s PEACH Education Tax Credit, where donors will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for their donation.
