Greg Griffin
8th Grade U.S. History Teacher, John F. Kennedy Middle School in Rockledge

Greg Griffin, 8th grade U.S. History Teacher at John F. Kennedy Middle School is one of many Brevard County Teachers benefiting from the Education Donation Program. Greg says, “The Education Donation Program really works to help teachers. I give the Education Donation Program an A+. What's great is that the parents who are donating know that the funds come directly to me to spend in their child's class. In fact, I’ve already received more than $50 this year!”

A long time SCCU member, Griffin says, “I really appreciate that SCCU members have selected me to be the recipient of a portion of their SCCU credit card rebates. I receive cash directly from the program and the money is well spent on needed educational material like books, posters, and DVDs. I also purchase supplies with the funds like reinforcement tabs, erasers, pencils and pens.” Griffin says that he typically spends $500 per year of his personal income on needed supplies for his classroom, which is about average for Florida teachers, according to Sara Stern, Public Information Officer for the Brevard County Schools. “Many more teachers could be benefiting from this program simply by their friends and students’ parents enrolling them in the program,” Griffin adds.
