Chapter Service Projects
In the pursuit of Educational Excellence Alpha Chapter
conducts several projects.
Supporting Early Career Educators is a growing project. Our new teacher committee, under the helm of Ann Marie Towne, will be creating surprise supply bags for new teachers in March. This committee is researching additional ways to support educators in the early years.
The Grants-in-Aid Committee headed by Diane Craig awards grants to 10 area high school women graduates pursuing a degree in education. The winners meet their award presenters at their high schools. They are invited to join us at our May banquet.
Through a liaison with the Girls’ and Boys’ Club Family Center, Acorn Street, Springfield, we conduct two projects. Chaired by Marilyn Spedding, the Mary McGrath’s A Child’s Wish project provides a child with a special holiday gift. The Homework Helpers project, chaired by Coleen Sullivan, supports the afterschool program with needed school supplies in September.
At each meeting a miniature schoolhouse is available for monetary support to the Schools for Africa fund, our International project.
