About
Us
The Susie Royer Syke Literacy Fellowship (SRSLF) was established in November
2005 to honor the memory of a talented and dedicated teacher and mentor.
Susie valued opportunities to extend and enhance her learning through teaching
and sharing with others. To that end, the SRSLF was established in her
memory to help educators advance their understandings of best practices
and their effectiveness as teachers. Our mission is to fund small grants
for literacy educators in the form of workshops, classes, conferences,
course work, etc.
Since the inception of the Fellowship in November, 2005, over 50 grants
have been awarded to deserving teachers in seven Colorado school districts.
The Board of Directors is comprised of educators, family and friends of
Susie.
