This year’s round of Great Ideas Grants saw six teachers awarded more than $20,000 in funding to pursue new programs in the district. Recipients included: Capital High School’s Sarah Urban and Susan Selvig, CR Anderson’s Kevin Cleary and Shannon Thomas, Rossiter Elementary’s Sarah Dramstad and Helena High’s Rene Cloninger.

All of the teachers were awarded funding to pursue their great ideas for a school program; Cordingley found an appropriate sponsor from the local community for each one.
