Concern for Community is one of the Seven Cooperative Principles guiding South Plains Electric Cooperative. Giving back to our community gives our Cooperative the opportunity to support community efforts that enhance the quality of life for members and their families. Operation Round Up helps provide funding for community members in need.

Operation Round Up is funded by Cooperative members rounding their bill up to the nearest dollar.

Sarah Bading and her students used the Operation Round Up Teacher Mini-Grant to advance math skills in the classroom.

Bading, a teacher at Shallowater ISD, purchased the program Study Island to provide her students with additional math practice in a fun way! With each lesson, Bading is able to assign rigorous math problems to students to help strengthen each student’s knowledge of that particular math skill.

Since implementing the program, Bading has seen test scores improve and a rise in confidence in her students’ ability to answer more complex math questions.
