PeterS Township Teachers Awarded 2018 GEO Grants
The Peters Township Education Foundation is proud to announce the winners of the 2018 GEO (Granting Educators Opportunities) Grants. This year, the PTEF will provide nearly $4,800 in funds to support classroom projects.
The winners are:
Mary Collins: Middle School, STEM
Ms. Collins will receive a 3D printer to enhance the school’s STEM efforts. The printer would be added to the building’s HUB of Imagination and help the students move from programming to creating.
Christopher Allen and Fred Burns: High School, Technology Education
Mr. Allen and Mr. Burns will receive a Handibot Smart machine that will allow students to produce prototypes of their projects in the Applied Engineering and Innovation Class.
Veronica Byers: Pleasant Valley, First Grade
Mrs. Byers will receive materials to supplement her Morning Choice Bins. These bins provide an alternative to traditional classroom morning work that allows students to engage with academic tools, learn collaboratively and enhance problem solving skills.
In the past seven years, the PTEF has provided more than $55,000 in funds to support education at all levels in Peters Township. We offer our congratulations to this year’s recipients and our thanks to everyone who has supported the efforts of the PTEF to make this a reality.
