EdCo Grant Picture - 2024

Back to School! The Heart of Illinois Community Foundation was happy to host a “Back to School Coffee” this morning to celebrate our Piatt County Educators who were recently awarded EdCo grants. Each grant awarded is for the purchase of classroom resources which are designed to meet the needs of students, with a focus on Best Practices of Inclusion.

Thank you, Piatt County Educators, Pictured L-R: Amanda Ryder (Washington School Principal), Katherine Sokolowski (Monticello Middle School Seventh Grade Teacher), Allyson Lourash (Washington School Special Education Teacher), Christy Sweet (Bement Elementary School Principal), Amy Wolfe (Bement Schools Art Teacher), Chelsi Thomas (Washington School Assistant Principal), and Cristin Wright (HICF Philanthropic Advisor-Piatt County).
