Dear Parents, Faculty, Staff, and Students:

The Darien Chamber of Commerce is challenging your school and or organization to make the 2014 Darien Dash one of the best events of the year. We have $2500.00 in award money to distribute and we are promoting this event to you as the Darien Dash for Education! With the support from the Darien Chamber of Commerce Members, the Chamber is proud to offer four cash awards through our corporate sponsors. The awards will be given based on school and organization participation. A $1,000 award will be given to the school with the highest number of participants in the race, a $600 award will be given to the school with the second highest number of participants, a $400 award will be given for the third highest and a $500 award to the youth organization with the highest number of registered participants. Now tell me, is your school or organization up for the challenge? Is your school or organization going to be the best? Is your school or organization going to bring home the CASH?

A minimum of 35 participants will be necessary to qualify a school or organization for the awards mentioned above. Participants may be any individuals who register for the race and list a school and organization that they wish to represent. Each participant may represent only one school and one organization. The Chamber can provide promotional flyers rof the Dash to schools and organizations upon request. Schools and organizations will be free to distribute these flyers and promote the race to faculty, students, parents, and other potential participants.

Registered runners can pick up their bibs, race bags and performance t-shirts at BMO Harris located at 2275 75th Street, (located in front of Wal-Mart mall) on Friday May 16th from 3-6 pm and Saturday May 17, 2014 from 8am-12pm. Thank you for your cooperation. Remember, without the support of our sponsors, the Darien Dash Committee would not be able to offer the Cash Rewards to our local schools and organizations.

We look forward to a fun morning and some fierce, friendly competition.

Sincerely,

In keeping with its goal to strengthen and enrich learning through the development of innovative programs, the TEAM 66 Education Foundation (TEAM 66) announced that its initial funding priorities will be on Innovative Teaching Grants. The grant opportunities will encourage teachers to implement new strategies and approaches in teaching that will immediately impact students.

TEAM 66’s grants will be made available at the classroom, grade, department, campus and district level. Grant applications will be made available in April, will be due in September and recipients will be notified in October.

Jake Little, 7th Grade Social Studies teacher and Vice President of the Center Cass Education Association (CCEA) expressed his and the CCEA’s support by saying: “”The staff of CCSD66 is excited about the opportunity to work with TEAM 66. Not only does our faculty have a proud history of collaboration within the community, but we are always looking for innovative and engaging ways to help students learn. TEAM 66 will contribute to our rich culture of learning and is an exciting addition to the community. We look forward to the enrichment and the special opportunities our students will be offered.”
