Mrs. Turner's kindergarten class earned a grant through Tools for Schools from KWWL and Green State Credit Union! They are getting new storage and organization for their amazing STEM tools.
Mrs. Ramirez and her 6th-grade students partner with Iowa State Extension and Outreach, as well as Tama County Outreach, working closely with Jenni Hulme in her classroom. Through this collaboration, students learn about healthy lifestyles, making positive choices, and building skills to become well-rounded, responsible individuals.
The program provides Mrs. Ramirez with high-quality instructional resources, along with hands-on classroom activities, at times led by Jenni, giving students engaging and meaningful learning experiences.
In addition, this partnership awarded a classroom grant. A majority of the funds were generously donated toward new playground equipment, while a portion was used to purchase a NEX Playground system, an interactive movement-based device that allows students to stay active through fun games. The system uses motion-tracking technology, making it a great option for indoor recess or short activity breaks.
We are incredibly grateful for these partnerships and the positive impact they continue to have on our students.
