A local school was able to offer teachers a professional development opportunity earlier this month with funding assistance from an annual grant program.
The Highmark Foundation’s School Grant and Awards Program recently awarded $7,500 to Connoquenessing Valley Elementary School in the Seneca Valley School District.
The funds were combined with additional donations from the Seneca Valley Foundation and the school’s PTO to bring in the Leader in Me program to CVE teachers on October 11th. This training will help teachers incorporate The Seven Habits of Happy Kids into daily morning meetings.
Highmark received over 190 applications this year requesting more than $1.2 million.
