To help offset some of the costs for teachers who purchase classroom supplies on their own, Sioux Valley Energy will award 10 area teachers a $350 grant through its C.L.A.S.S. Grant (Cooperative Learning and Supply Scholarship) Contest.

Entries can be submitted online at SVEClassGrants.com. Contest entries need to be submitted by August 15, 2025.

One teacher from each of the Cooperative’s 10 director districts will be selected to win a $350 grant to be used for a project or supplies for their classroom during a drawing held on August 19 via Facebook Live.
