MVM Teacher Wins Altra's Cash 4 Classrooms

Michael Cooper accepting giant check from Altra

A Meadowview Middle School teacher started the week with a big surprise and a giant check on Monday morning!

Michael Cooper, 8th Grade Math and English Teacher, was one of this year's winners of Altra Federal Credit Union's Cash 4 Classrooms. His family and students were there to watch and cheer as he was presented with a $250 check. Mr. Cooper was one of only two winners selected from over 400 entries by a youth committee who thoroughly reviewed each nomination to select the winners.

Mr. Cooper was nominated by his fiancée, Alicia Roberts, who wrote: "Michael constantly goes above and beyond to make sure his students feel welcome and comfortable in his room while ensuring they are engaged in learning... He wants every student and athlete he gets the chance to work with to be successful, in and out of the classroom, and he will do whatever he is able to do to allow them to get there. At the end of the day, he knows that every student deserves a chance to be their best".

Congratulations, Mr. Cooper! #SpartanProud
