supporting educators to inspire and enhance student success
LeAnne Hilderbran and Lindsey Postlethwait of Bethel School for “Learning Outside, but within the ‘Walls,’” to modify and outfit an existing learning space to increase its usability and enhance its aesthetic appeal. These updates, as well as the installation of a schoolwide sculpture, will bring positive energy, new life, and longevity to the space.
Erik Mortensen from Watauga High School for “Continuing Automotive Upgrades” that will keep this program’s inventory current with the latest technology to ensure students will enter the workforce or post-secondary institution with the skills necessary to succeed.
Brenda Blalock of Mabel School to purchase “New Books to Build Proficient Readers.” Grant funds will be used to purchase newer, more up-to-date reading materials to focus on reading accuracy, comprehension, and fluency. The two sets will include 18 leveled books each, along with a classroom starter pack, Teacher’s guide, and test evidence questions for the reading specialist.
