honorcreditunion-4

Honor Credit Union has announced the winners of its annual Teacher Awards. Teachers from all over southwest Michigan are winners. Each winner gets $200 to use in their classrooms. Honor Credit Union gives us the full details:

Honor Credit Union is happy to announce the 12th Annual Teacher Award winners. With each year that passes, the Annual Teacher Awards continues to grow.

2021 proved to be a record-breaking year with over 1,200 entries from educators submitting a short essay explaining how they would use an additional $200 to better their students’ education.

Honor kicked off the 2021 Annual Teacher Awards in August by announcing 70 teachers would receive $200 each to use towards their classrooms. However, after receiving over 500 more entries than the previous year, Honor’s team members chose an additional 32 Honorable Mention winners who would receive $100 each. The giveback, however, did not stop there. Seeing the impact Honor could make for teachers and their students was invaluable. Honor’s Community Assistant Vice Presidents selected an additional 11 teachers who would receive various classroom supplies to help fill requests, totaling the number of awarded teachers to 113.
