School Grant Committee Chairperson Patti Hahn presented the award to Georgette Tuttle, who had requested a grant to purchase canvases for murals to be painted by students. The completed paintings would then be displayed in the hallways of the high school’s Administration Building. Tuttle expressed her appreciation for the helpful grant, and CalRTA #71 President Joyce McGregor added her congratulations to the recipient of the award.

CalRTA #71 awards school grants each year for the purpose of helping teachers to purchase additional equipment or supplies for their classrooms. By visiting the schools to make presentations, CalRTA #71 hopes to acquaint future retirees with their organization.
