Baldwin EMC representatives paid visits to some of Baldwin County's local high schools last month. And fortunately for a handful of lucky teachers, they came bearing gifts.
The co-op presented awards to the teachers who sponsored the winning students from their respective high schools in Baldwin EMC's Youth Tour program. The prize was educational materials for their classrooms which the teachers were allowed to choose.
The winning teachers were: Karen Myrick from Fairhope High School, Sonnie Coleman and Sharron McCurdy from Robertsdale High School, and Lee Cleveland from Spanish Fort High School.
Baldwin EMC's Youth Tour is a scholarship program that also gives local high-school students an all-expense paid educational trip to our state and nation's capitols. The four local high school juniors recently named as the winners are Pete Lewandowski and Gerson Tunek of Robertsdale High School, Keaton Taylor of Fairhope High School, and Cole Manders of Spanish Fort High School. The students visited Montgomery in March, and will depart for Washington, D.C. in June.
