We are a group of retired educators, living in the Fairbanks North Star Borough area and in other parts of the United States, who get together on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, during the school year. We will be gathering in the Multipurpose room of Raven Landing on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Arrive between 11:00 AM and 11:15 AM for some social time and close to 11:20 AM Slava will have soup ready for us. Our program will start close to 11:40 AM with Judy Rae Smith introducing our 2024-2025 FRTA Scholarship recipients and hearing from them. Please RSVP by the SUNDAY, May 5, 2024, to Steve Heckman, (sjheckman@gci.net or call 907-455-6036) if you will be attending this meeting.
At our meetings we provide updates on what the state is doing for educators and we are pleased to offer programs each month that our members have suggested. The main objectives of FRTA are our scholarships, offered through an application process, to help students in their first year of their higher education.
We continue to provide support for the McKinney-Vento Education Program. The McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program ensures that students and families experiencing homelessness over the course of a school year have equal and full access to the same educational opportunities provided to other students. Our involvement is through monetary and necessary supplies through out the school year. More can be found at their website:
