A North Judson-San Pierre teacher was one of 100 Hoosier educators to receive a grant through the Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program.
NJ-SP Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin recently announced that sixth-grade teacher Debbie Bolen was awarded a $12,000 grant for her project ‘Innovation across the Nation.’ The project is described as a study of the life and works of Thomas Edison, especially his perseverance and innovative thinking.
According the Lilly Endowment website, the Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program is one of the Endowment’s longest standing programs.
It was started more than three decades ago as a way to help public school employees renew their commitment to teaching. Officials report that the fellowship enables educators to pursue their dreams and passions, explore new areas of interest and expand on and develop new and existing talents.
