We are excited to celebrate Mrs. Caitlin Lyons, recipient of a $2,000 CCEF Classroom Impact Grant from the Cherokee County Education Foundation! ๐
Mrs. Lyonsโ innovative grant will help build a collection of dyslexia-friendly and bilingual books, giving more Avery students access to texts that are welcoming, accessible, and designed to help every reader experience success.
Dr. Lisa Turner shared:
โThis grant is a wonderful example of what happens when a teacher sees a student need and turns it into an opportunity. Caitlinโs vision reflects our commitment to making sure every child has access to meaningful, engaging texts and feels represented and supported as a reader.โ
Mrs. Lyons added:
โI am incredibly grateful to the Cherokee County Education Foundation for investing in our students and making this collection possible. These dyslexia-friendly and bilingual books will help us reach more readers, remove barriers, and give students books they can access with greater confidence and joy.โ
Thank you, CCEF, for continuing to invest in teachers, inspire students, and make innovative ideas possible in our classrooms. We cannot wait to see these books in the hands of our Avery Cubs! ๐๐
Congratulations, Mrs. Lyons! ๐
