< Back to FGE Home Future Georgia Educators Battle of the Bells Battle of the Bells is a great fundraiser to hold during the holiday season. It is a “favorite teacher” contest, whereby students vote for their favorite teachers by purchasing jingle bell necklaces from the FGE chapter for their favorite teachers. During the contest period, teachers should wear their jingle bell necklaces each day. The teacher with the most jingle bells at the end of the contest period wins a prize. Step-by-step guide: Obtain approval from your principal to hold the fundraiser. Set the dates for the contest (1 to 2 week duration). Decide on the prize for “Favorite Teacher,” such as a gift certificate to a local mall (perfect for holiday season). Purchase large jingle bells and yarn from a craft store such as Hobby Lobby or online craft supplier such as Oriental Trading. Use these to make jingle bell necklaces. Or, if you prefer, purchase ready-made jingle bell necklaces from an online store such as Amazon. Advertise the contest to the student body. As necklaces are purchased, make a note of which teacher the necklace was purchased for. These are “votes.” FGE chapter may want to monitor the votes and update the student body daily as to who is “winning” to encourage greater participation. Your chapter may also want to monitor votes to see that each teacher receives at least a few votes. At the end of the contest period, count the votes and award the winning teacher his or her prize. Not only is this an effective fundraiser, but it also promotes the field of teaching and expresses appreciation to the teachers at your school! RETURN TO FUTURE GEORGIA EDUCATORS HOME Back to Top

Should you need to leave early to get your bus back, we understand! But knowing this in advance will help us plan better and prevent our presenters from staring at an empty room! Determine if your group will participate in the optional campus tour at the end of the day, if offered (start time approximately 2:15; duration approximately 30 minutes). Have access to a printer or the ability to save a pdf so that you can print or save your order confirmation/invoice . If you are paying by credit card, have that info ready. Or you can mail a check.

Georgia’s Pre-Collegiate Future Educator Program < Back to FGE Home Future Georgia Educators About FGE Identify, Recruit, Prepare and Retain PAGE has established Future Georgia Educators (FGE), to identify, recruit, prepare, and retain the next generation of Georgia’s teachers. High schools are encouraged to establish FGE chapters of students wishing to explore careers in education. PAGE provides local chapter support, professional learning and competitions centered on the development of teaching skills. Furthermore, FGE supports high schools that offer education pathway courses: Early Childhood Education or Teaching as a Profession. Through FGE, PAGE provides guest speakers to education pathway classes on curriculum topics such as ethics and contemporary issues in education, as well as providing curriculum support resources on the FGE website. PAGE has also partnered with several colleges of education across the state to host a series of “FGE Days.” Education pathway students will hear from award-winning educators, participate in workshops and meet with representatives from colleges of education from all over the state. More information is available HERE . "We are eager to support future educators and their teachers,” said FGE Coordinator Mary Ruth Ray. “We are working closely with committed FGE advisors to make sure that we target the needs of the education pathway classes. And our relationships with colleges of education have us perfectly positioned to encourage these young people as they graduate high school and move on to the post-secondary level.” RETURN TO FUTURE GEORGIA EDUCATORS HOME Back to Top
