TLA is pleased to announce the 2016-2017 SEOP awards. Three Lakes Association is strongly committed to the SEOP program and applauds all of these teachers for their efforts to give their students the best experiences possible. This year one Central Lake Public Schools teacher and three Bellaire Public Schools teachers applied for SEOP Grants for the upcoming school year, 2016-2017. In total, TLA granted $3217.50; $780.50 to Central Lake and $2437 to Bellaire. This year yielded a smaller group of SEOP grant applicants which allowed TLA to fulfill of all the requests, leaving an amount in our treasury which will be carried over and added to next year’s grant funds. Our annual budgeted funds are $6000.
