New Teacher Mini Grant Winners Update:
Kody Czerwonka, a teacher at Buckeye Friends School received a New Teacher Mini Grant in the spring. He used the grant to purchase art supplies and canvases for his students. Check out their work!
Megan Yager, a teacher at Red Hill High School received a New Teacher Mini Grant during the spring. She shares, "I used the money from this grant to start a dissection lab for my 8th grade students. I purchased 30 preserved grass frogs. Frog organs appear very similar to human organs, so teaching the anatomy of the human body system prior to performing the frog dissection helped the students relate the task to their lives and their well-being."
