Jackson, Mich. (WKHM) — American 1 Credit Union has awarded ten educators with $500 each for classroom needs and improvements under the newly formed Teacher Grant Program.
“Investing in the wellness of our communities is a top priority for us at American 1,” said Erica Estelle, Community Partnership Manager for American 1. “Many of these educators spend their hard-earned money to ensure that their students have the resources they need to be successful. Granting these classrooms additional funds will help remove the burden off these teachers, but also allow them to find new and unique ways to teach students valuable skills while having fun in the process.”

- Kristen Watters, Camden-Frontier
- Lora Wallich, Michener Elementary School
- Marabeth Lewis, Custer Elementary School
- Kelsey Miller, St Andrew School Saline
