The Collinsville Middle School English Department received a $1,000 SCORE (Schools and Community Outreach by Educators) grant from IEA-NEA the Illinois Educators Association.
“We’ll be using the funds to purchase a few materials/supplies and the rest was used to give away free books to attendees at our Annual Family Reading Night. We also gave away Family Reading Night t-shirts to the first 50 CMS students through the doors,” said 8th grade English teacher and Department Chair Rob Dettmers.
Meredith Byers from IEA-NEA attended the event to present a jumbo check to the school. #IEAhelpsout.
