At the banquet of the annual conference, Roger Bennett, Golden Holtan Grant chair, shared the purpose of the Golden Holtans, the new awardees of these grants, and encouragement for future applicants.  Named for Dr. Boyd Holtan, a retired professor from West Virginia University, the Golden Holtans are grants for practicing classroom teachers for development of a particular project in their classrooms.  Checks for each of the selected projects were presented by Dr. Holtan and Mr. Bennett.

 

This year’s Golden Holtan Grant recipients were Crystal Wheeler from the Village of Barboursville Elementary School in Cabell County and Jennifer McIntosh from Parkersburg South High School in Wood County.
