Thank you so much for selecting me as a recipient for the Aspiring Educator grant. Your kind gesture will go a long way as I continue my education and prepare for student teaching in the fall. The support I've received from not only DKG but the affiliates of DKG helps me be assured that my dreams are in reach, and I appreciate ASTEF immensely.
Thanks again!
