Boardman schools award six grants to educators

BOARDMAN

The Boardman Schools Fund for Educational Excellence today awarded six grants to educators for supplemental projects and materials.

A total of $7,280 will go to projects that range from the addition of mini iPads in a Stadium Drive kindergarten classroom, to the addition of indoor plant-growing kits in Glenwood Middle School science classrooms.

"I'm very excited about this, because we are touching from kindergarten all the way through grade 12," said Joyce Mistovich, president of the schools-fund board.

The organization's purpose is to provide funding to "aid students in reaching their fullest potential in an environment which nurtures high achievement and excellence." The grants aim to help teachers follow state-mandated curriculum using creative, modern methods.
