Thousands of Grant Dollars Awarded to Plum Teachers
As school funding remains very tight in the state of Pennsylvania , many Plum Borough School District teachers and administrators have found ways to fund their creative and innovative ideas …. to the tune of $ 19,000 +. Teachers from all six school buildings have earned grant money ranging from a hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars .
Grants have been received from a wide variety of organizations ; some local including PPG , Allegheny Intermediate Unit , Highmark , DonorsChoose , Exxon , PATTAN and EcoCycle to name a few . And , requests to apply for other grants continue to roll into the office of the Assistant Superintendent .
These grant monies have been used for many unique and creative purposes . Some of the grant money was used to support a building initiative implementing a new positive behavior recognition plan . Much of the money is funding STEM projects across the district including a “ Grow ” room at Regency Park Elementary and aquaponics centers at Oblock Junior High and Regency Park Elementary . Some of the teachers and administrators have been awarded grants to purchase 3-D printers which are then used in STEM or technology classes for students to create new designs . Lastly , Finch robots , Ozobots , Dots and Dash robots and others have been purchased to support students in their quest to learn coding . The Plum Borough School District is very proud of these teachers and administrators who continue to go the “ extra mile ” for the students . lum Borough
