The OOLY 2018 Teacher Grant Giveaway in partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org was an amazing success! We had over a thousand entries from all over the country! Amazing! In the end, we picked ten wonderful winners who were awarded $750 each to spend at the AdoptAClassroom.org online store. But we were not finished! One of the lucky ten had the chance to double their grant to $1500! After reading all their motivations for their chance at the double grant, and because we know that teachers deserve more support, we couldn’t just pick one winner… so we picked five! Congratulations to these teachers who received extra surprise funding, we can’t wait to see what you do with your grant!
