Congratulations to our 2012 Teacher Grant Recipients!
We are pleased to announce the recipients of their 2012 Teacher Grant
Award. The credit union began this program this year in an effort to assist
their members who are educators in funding equipment, supplies or training.
The recipients are:
 |
Norma Turcotte accepts her Teacher Grant Certificate from Myrijam Meserve, Manager/CEO, Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union. |
Norma Turcotte, Music Teacher for the Enfield Public Schools.
Mrs. Turcotte has taught Music in Enfield for 27 years and is currently
the Co-director of the Inter-Elementary Chorus. She is a recipient of
the Celebration of Excellence Award for the Enfield Street School
Assembly Program, the George Perry Literacy Scholarship and was a member
of the Higher Order Thinking Schools Program that integrated the arts
into all subject areas.
Mrs. Turcotte will utilize her grant funds to purchase Dulcimers, a
stringed instrument, for her elementary students so that each child will
have their own instrument to play.

Brian Olsen accepts his Teacher Grant Certificate from Myrijam Meserve, Manager/CEO, Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union. |
Brian Olsen, Science Teacher at Enfield High School. Mr. Olsen
has been teaching science at the high school for 12 years. He was
chosen to participate in the 2011 United Technologies

Otis Elevator. He also participated in the 2012 Smith College Summer
Internship for Teachers learning about Zebrafish Embryonic Development
and designing labs to incorporate into the biology curriculum. This
summer, Mr. Olsen will participate in the Smith College-New England

molecular and cellular biology. He will use his grant funds to purchase
science equipment needed to perform a lab developed by his students to
study the effects of alcohol on embryonic development (using zebrafish).
“With increasing restraints on budgets and funding for educators, we
wanted to offer some assistance. Our program is open to our members who
are educators in our field of membership. Two grants are awarded
annually. It is our hope that this funding will add to the level of
education that is offered to our area students.” said Myrijam Meserve,
Manager/CEO for the Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union.
