Coweta Association of Retired Educators to host Bazaar, Silent Auction

From Special Reports

The Coweta Association of Retired Educators will host a Holiday Bazaar and Silent Auction on Tuesday, Dec. 11 to raise scholarship funds for future educators.

The event is set from 9 a.m. until noon at the Coweta County School System’s office complex on Werz Industrial Boulevard in Newnan.

A wide assortment of donated items, including baked goods, seasonal crafts, sports paraphernalia, and “white elephant” pieces, will be available.

Proceeds benefit the CARE scholarship fund and the local chapter’s contributions to its parent organization, Georgia Retired Educators Association.

Each year CARE awards a scholarship to a CCSS high school senior who plans to become a teacher. Former recipients may apply to have their scholarship renewed provided they are continuing their undergraduate studies in teacher education.

Applications for the 2019 scholarship are available in the guidance offices of East Coweta High School, Newnan High School, and Northgate High School.
