Dear Bates Middle School Community,
Maryland PTA asked that we pass along the following information regarding Harvest for the Hungry and the Excellence in Education Award.
HARVEST
FOR THE HUNGRY CAMPAIGN WITH ONE "CLICK"!
AACPS and SECU have
partnered on our Harvest for the Hungry: Kids Helping Kids Campaign. For every
“Like” on the State Employees Credit Union’s Facebook page between now and
Nov. 1, SECU will donate $5.00 to our campaign.
You can help us generate more funds for this worthy cause by going to this link
https://www.facebook.com/secuMD
and clicking the “like” button (on non-duty time, of course).
Note: While the ad
on SECU’s Facebook page says the money will go to the “Maryland Food
Bank’s Harvest for the Hungry,” our partnership calls for it all to come
to AACPS (Maryland Food Banks runs the overall program).
It can’t be much easier and take less
effort to raise money! Be sure to let your friends know.
EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARDS
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2014 Anne Arundel County Public
Schools Teacher of the Year and 2014 Business Partnership Awards. Only
one teacher per school may be nominated. More often than not, the
nominations are through or in partnership with the school PTA unit. Nominees and winners will be honored at the 28th annual Excellence in Education awards, set for April 10 at the BWI Marriott hotel in Linthicum. Last year, 52 top educators and a host of businesses were nominated for awards.
The 2014 AACPS Teacher of the Year will represent the county in the Maryland State Teacher of the Year competition. AACPS has had two finalists for the state honor in the last three years.
The Excellence in Education Awards are presented annually in partnership by Anne Arundel County Public Schools and the Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce. In addition to outstanding teachers, the awards honor local businesses that have forged critical partnerships that directly benefit AACPS’ approximately 79,000 students.
Nomination forms are available on the AACPS website by going to http://www.aacps.org/development/emp.asp. Forms can also be obtained from the Chamber of Commerce’s website at www.aaaccc.org.
Nominations are due by 4 p.m. on November 15, 2013.
