She remembered those days of spending her own money on classroom materials and projects. Nancy encouraged MCTRA to help 'pay it forward' to some of those teachers who personally provide extra, special opportunities for students in their classrooms that school budgets just won't allow. Her generous initial donation established this fund. MCRTA will continue to raise funds to make this grant available to all current teachers working in Medina County schools. Grant applications are available at Medina County Schools and on-line at this site. Mail completed applications by May 1st of each year.
