Bright House Networks recently awarded a Bright Futures Educator Grant to Amy White of Eufaula Elementary School.    Bright Futures, launched in January of 2009, is designed to be an on-going program that assists teachers in acquiring classroom tools and resources. Grants are available to educators who teach K-12 curriculum at schools located within the Bright House Networks service area.  Recipients are awarded up to $500 to assist their efforts to move students forward to a bright future through educational learning.

Ms. White submitted a project to improve math and reading skills by purchasing math facts practice sets and teaching card sets for tricky words and phrases. These resources will help to increase the skill level of students in these key subject areas.

"We are excited to provide the additional resources for the teachers that inspire today's students" states Scott Horne, VP/GM Bright House Networks.  "We are aware of the financial picture surrounding our educational budgets in our school systems.  We are proud to be able to make these grants available to fill the potential loss of classroom resources."

This program is an ongoing program.  Teachers are encouraged to continue submitting applications and project summaries for considerations. Since the program's inception in 2009, the Bright Futures Educator's Grant program has issues over $10,000.00 in grants to educators in the State of Alabama.
