Laker teachers receive $1,300 in grants

Congratulations to Laker Elementary teacher Michelle Fritz and Laker Secondary School teacher Brenda Smith! They both received two grants from the Meemic Insurance Foundation through the Gentner Agency in Mayville. Mrs. Smith will be using the $100 grant for classroom supplies that will be used for student projects. The larger grant will be used to benefit students in some way, and Mrs. Smith plans to meet with Principal Jon Good to decide the best way to expend that grant money. Mrs. Fritz, who received two $100 grants, will use the grant dollars for ordering nonfiction books for her classroom and to purchase flexible seating for her classroom. Thank you to Charlie Gentner and Tina Badger, of the Gentner Insurance Agency, for stopping by to hand out the grants and for offering this grant opportunity for teachers.
