Saugerties Business Teacher Ian Cooper Honored with State Award and $500 Innovations Grant
The Innovations Grant provides $500 in funding for creative projects that enhance student learning and go beyond what a normal school budget would allow. Cooper will use these funds to support innovative, hands-on experiences in his entrepreneurship class, including the Sawyer Supply School Store and student-led Shark Tank-style projects, giving students the chance to turn their ideas into real products while developing leadership and business skills.
Please join us in congratulating Ian Cooper for this well-deserved recognition and for his continued dedication to preparing Sawyers for success in business and beyond!
