Each month from September to May, the IEA awards $50 to eight new teachers (0-5 years experience) for classroom materials or supplies.
Here are some comments from past COLD HARD CASH winners:
“Thank you so much for the $50. The money has been used to buy an electric pencil sharpener, so I can quickly sharpen my first graders ’ pencils during prep time…I also used the money to purchase a collection of the Flat Stanley series. We mail our Flat Stanley to a friend in another state. When our friend mails him back we learn about the city and state that Flat Stanley visited.” Jennifer Lopuch, Bonneville Education Association.
“Thank you so much for the money to use in my classroom. I was able to purchase whiteboard folders and markers for the classroom. I will be able to implement some high intensity activities with the white board folders.” Becki Boyd, Minidoka Education Association
“Part of the award was used for lab supplies/activities. I have added a classroom pet and some wall décor. Thanks for supporting.” Jeff Anderson, Jefferson Co. Education Association
