Applications are available for continuing education grants from the Helen Gariepy Grants for School Educators in Clallam County Fund through the Beta Nu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, an international organization of professional women educators.

Gariepy's substantial bequest honors her long career as an educator in Port Angeles. Grants will be made available to selected educators who are working for professional improvement or development of their skills.

Any educator or paraprofessional working in a Clallam County school may apply. Funding may be for full reimbursement of funds or for partial reimbursement for programs not paid for from any other sources. The fall submission deadline is Nov. 15.

For brochures and applications, call Marsha Omdal at 681-2254 or e-mail momdal@msn.com.
