Palmetto, GA – Seventeen Coweta school teachers were surprised with gift bags, balloons and Bright Ideas checks ranging from $670 to $1,500 when a group of Operation Round Up representatives announced the 2013 winners in classrooms across the county.
Every year, Coweta-Fayette EMC’s Operation Round Up initiative gives educators the opportunity to apply for grants dedicated to special teaching projects not often available in tightly budgeted school systems. Through this program, the Coweta-Fayette Trust, Inc., Board of Directors awarded over $30,000 in Bright Ideas grants to 26 deserving recipients throughout the EMC service area.
