WCCF Salem Giving Tree Fund Awards Grants to Salem Teachers

Not everyone can do everything, but everyone can do something and those somethings add up. In this case, the somethings are a couple of dollars out of each paycheck for Salem Community Schools employees that choose to give to the Salem Community Schools Giving Tree Fund.  

This year, four Salem Community Schools educators were awarded grants from the fund.

Pam Barry’s Kindergarten classroom will be learning STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) activities geared to develop thinking skills, reasoning, teamwork, investigative, and creative skills that students can use throughout life.

Students in Brooke Ingram’s Kindergarten class will be using the Osmo system. The system will give students a new way of interacting with classroom IPads by utilizing a special pencil.  Students will be able to work independently while others are working in small groups.

Third grade teachers, Emily Johnson and Crystal Mikels, are collaborating to continue the Ready Set Make STEM Club. Students will meet after school to develop problem solving skills in the realm of STEM.

Washington County Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity established in 1993 to serve donors, award grants, and provide leadership to improve Washington County forever
