Crescent Elementary School teacher Lori Linsmeyer receives Meemic Foundation Grant to build math fluency
Terri Lewis, Meemic Foundation Advocate and a representative of the Lewis Agency in Rhinelander, presented the grant, according to a school district press release .
Linsmeyer will use the grant to build math fluency in Grade 1, according to the release.
"Exceptional educators are always looking for new and creative ways to inspire their students and we want to make sure that financial concerns don't stand in the way of those ideas," said Pamela Harlin, director of the Meemic Foundation.
"The goal of Meemic Foundation grants is to provide the resources necessary for teachers to create a dynamic learning environment for students that not only educates the children but inspires them as well."
"To date, the Foundation has had a tremendous impact on the educational community with more than 10,000 grants given out since 2015 to fund inspiring and effective initiatives," the release states. "The Foundation has significantly enhanced students' classroom experiences in all educational settings including public, private, parochial and charter schools as well as colleges and universities."
The Meemic Foundation has been offering financial assistance in the form of grants to schools and educators for more than 25 years, the release notes.
"Annually, teachers spend a good amount of their hard-earned money on educational supplies for their classrooms," the release states. "According to a recent study conducted by Perry Research Professionals for the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA), public school teachers in the United States spend more than $1.6 billion out-of-pocket on school supplies and instructional materials. That equates to an average total of $945 on materials per teacher per year for their classrooms. Meemic Foundation grants can help alleviate budget strains on teachers via grants and allow educators the freedom to be creative with their lessons."
