Every year the Chapel Hill Restaurant Group presents the Annual Teacher’s Breakfast, an event that has raised over One Million, One hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars for the Public School Foundation. Volunteers gather at Squid’s Restaurant and prepare and deliver over 2,240 meals for the teachers and staffs of the Chapel Hill/Carrboro Public School System. Each teacher also receives a rose from the Public School Foundation as a symbol of thanks and gratitude. At the Chapel Hill Restaurant Group we truly believe that teachers are the backbone of our communities, and we are incredibly proud to help them by donating 100% of the food for this event.

Funds provide vital programs for teachers, including:

• Awards honoring excellent teachers & staff  ($45,000 to over 90 staff members awarded annually)

• Classroom Grants for Student Enrichment (approximately $40,000 awarded each year)

• Support for the Teacher Supply Store (over 600 teachers attend and receive $75 worth of supplies)

• Professional Development Grants ($25,000 per year)

• Grants to Novice Teachers (All first year teachers receive $200 grant)

• Grants for National Board Certification (over $15,000 in assistance last year for teachers and nurses)

• Grants for Teachers selected to present at Conferences ($375-$750 per grant)

• And many more ways to support & retain teachers in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro district
