First Lady Nancy Schweitzer and Qwest Montana President David Gibson will visit Bozeman-area schools on Friday, Jan. 11 to surprise teachers with grants totaling more than $13,000. These teachers submitted winning proposals for technology-related classroom projects as part of the Qwest Foundation’s Teachers and Technology grant program http://www.qwest.com/about/company/community/teachers_and_technology.html .

"Today’s dynamic, rapidly changing world requires students to understand and embrace all that technology makes possible," said Gibson. "Qwest is dedicated to helping educators promote the use of technology in their classrooms, and the Teachers and Technology grants help make that possible."
