STATESBORO - During Saturday's football game against South Carolina State, Georgia Southern will recognize 23 recipients of classroom improvement grants as a part of the College Football Playoff Foundation's Extra Yard For Teachers program.
The CFP Foundation's primary platform, Extra Yard for Teachers elevates the teaching profession by inspiring and empowering teachers through the implementation of programs in four focus areas: resources, recognition, recruitment and professional development.
