WADESBORO — With the start of the school year just around the corner, Pee Dee Electric is reminding local K-12 teachers to submit their applications for a Bright Ideas education grant.

Teachers who submit  their applications by the early-bird deadline of Aug. 16, 2021, will be entered into a statewide drawing to win one of five $100 gift cards. 

Applications are accepted from teachers in a variety of disciplines, including music, art, history, reading, science, career-planning, math, and technology. Teachers can apply for a grant of up to $2,000 through  Pee Dee Electric. The final deadline to apply for a grant is Sept. 15, 2021.
