36 Local Teachers Awarded Bright Ideas Grants in December

Tri-County EMC recently awarded Bright Ideas Grants to 36 local educators, recognizing their creativity and commitment to enriching classroom learning across our service area. These grants are designed to support innovative projects that bring lessons to life, strengthen student engagement, and provide hands-on educational experiences that go beyond traditional instruction.

One of this year’s grants will support a media project led by Mr. Nick Geeker at Oak Hill Middle School. His $1,500 will be used to create a professional podcast studio, giving students access to industry-standard equipment and software. The media lab will allow students to gain real-world technical experience while learning how modern media content is produced from start to finish. Beyond technical training, the studio will strengthen essential communication skills, including public speaking, interviewing, script writing, and storytelling. Through this project, students
will have the opportunity to build a portfolio of original work that reflects both creative ability and collaboration, helping prepare them for future academic paths and careers in media. (96040001)

Tri-County EMC is proud to invest in local educators who are shaping the next generation. The Bright Ideas Grant program continues to be one of the cooperative’s most meaningful ways to support education, and we congratulate all winning teachers for their outstanding ideas and their ongoing impact on students throughout our communities.
