Lisa Crosby, a 7th grade language arts teacher at Kosciusko Junior High School, recently received a classroom grant from the Mississippi Professional Educators (MPE).
A resident of Kosciusko, Lisa has been a member of MPE since 2012. She plans to use her grant funding for a project entitled “Roadtrip.” This project will use artifacts, research tools and literature to enhance students’ knowledge and appreciation of the United States.

Its top priority is the education and achievement of students.
