Mrs. Throndson received the McElroy grant. Keystone AEA has partnered with the R.J. McElroy Trust for approximately 19 years to provide teachers with grant money to fund innovative classroom projects. This school year there were 47 teachers who applied for the grant and 16 teachers were able to get their ideas funded.
Mrs. Throndson's project was STEM to Go. This project includes a backpack that contains two books (one fiction and one nonfiction) and one to two STEM activities related to the books. As a take-home option, families have the opportunity to also engage in the activities together with their children. These STEM backpacks will be able to be checked out from the elementary library.
