Lauren Meier, health science teacher at Elizabethton High School, is the latest Northeast Community Credit Union Helping Teachers Teach grant winner.

Meier applied for the Helping Teachers Teach grant to help cover the cost for health science students to attend the Skills USA National Convention this month.

Tracie Shelton Powers, English teacher at Hampton High School, is the latest Northeast Community Credit Union Helping Teachers Teach grant winner.

Powers applied for the grant to update the teacher workroom/lounge and meeting area. The revamped workspace will also be dedicated in honor of a long-time aide at HHS – a future surprise for that employee.

“Teachers put so much of their own money into their classrooms, their students, and their school,” Powers said. “This time, we are applying for this grant to fix our workroom/teacher’s lounge and lunch area. This is also a surprise for one of our aides. We want to honor her and all she’s done for the students, faculty and Hampton High through the years.”
