Retired teachers award Kimberly Steele $500 grant for student entrepreneur program
Summary
A retired teachers association presented a $500 teacher grant to Kimberly Steele to fund a student entrepreneur program tailored for special‑needs students, supporting life skills like money handling and selling products during lunch hours.
Jim Monaco of the Fort Valley Retired Teachers Association presented a $500 teacher grant and certificate to Kimberly (Kim) Steele in recognition of a classroom project that will teach special‑needs students entrepreneurship skills.
"I am Jim Monaco, and I'm with the Fort Valley Retired Teachers Association," Monaco said, describing the group's 30‑year scholarship and grant program and why Steele's student entrepreneur opportunity was selected. He said the funds should be spent during the school year and will buy a popcorn machine and supplies so students can manage sales and finances.
Superintendent Sean (presenting the meeting) thanked the retirees and noted the awards support classroom innovation. The board offered brief remarks of appreciation and allowed time for a photo with the presenter and recipient. No formal board action was required for the recognition.
