In November 2012, the Bay Village Education Foundation awarded grants to several innovative educators in the district. Director of Curriculum Char Shryock, along with educators Kelli McMaugh, Ali Volkman, Gail Hartman, Meredith Myatt, Barb Marsh and Darci Sanders, received $1,500 for the district-wide Bay Vocabulary Initiative. This project will span across all grade levels and incorporate support from the community with the goal of growing the vocabulary of all Bay students. It was therefore chosen as the winner of the Waldron Award for literacy.
