Northwest Community Credit Union recently visited the following Albany District schools to present four GAPS teachers with 2016 Project Community awards:
The following statement was released by the credit union to announce the selection of these outstanding educators:
We are proud of these winning teachers, and very much enjoyed the opportunity to visit on site and surprise teachers and classes in person. The entire process, from review of nominations, selection, and surprise presentation was rewarding for our staff, and gave them an added insight into the needs and challenges of public education today.
Albany’s district educators were among recipients of Northwest Community Credit Union’s annual educational program awards presentations completed in January, providing 67 Oregon educators funding support for project needs submitted in 2016. Winners from 48 schools and non-profits in 14 Oregon communities were selected with awards funding totaling $61,000.
