| This Chicago-based, nationally-recognized organization was founded by a substitute schoolteacher, who was recently chosen as the youngest adult in the nation for the National Jefferson Awards for Public Service. In recognition of their extraordinary dedication to students, the foundation names all of the grants it makes after teachers who have demonstrated excellence. The foundation regulary makes significant grants to aid teachers' efforts. The foundation's website is actually assigned reading at several Illinois schools. Visit this site when you have the time to sit back and enjoy yourself for a while. |
