Congratulations to Bob Hope All-Stars STEM Teacher Cynthia Cuellar, who was a recipient of a Firstmark Credit Union Teacher Grant on Thursday morning. Principal Gearhart led the celebration, along with Firstmark CU Foundation and Education Division Partners, to present Mrs. Cuellar with a grant check for $ 1,000. Mrs. Cuellar was surprised to receive this award and is so thankful for the credit union's support of educators, noting that this is the most important aspect of the awarded prize to her. Mrs. Cuellar plans to use to purchase new hydroponic planters for her students so they can watch plants grow as they learn, even from their desks with new mini hydroponic planters. Thanks again to Firstmark Credit Union for supporting educators in accomplishing their goals for their students. Congratulations, Mrs. Cuellar, on your award. We can’t wait to see the hydroponic gardens grow.
