THANKS to Alabama Power Foundation - $1000 Grant for Science Club !!

On Monday, October 26^th, we were honored by a surprise visit from Mrs C Johnson, representing the Alabama Power Foundation.   The foundation awarded a $1000 grant to Mrs D’s Science Club to further the club’s ability to reach out and encourage 5^th and 6^th grade Science students.  

Mrs Johnson remarked, “Thank you for all the hard work – please continue to inspire these young people.  We hope that this grant will allow you to invest in additional field trips or special experiences in the Science Club.”

Wow!  Thanks very much to the Alabama Power Foundation.  We are grateful for your participation and for this generous grant.  We will indeed use these funds wisely to create new learning opportunities for Science Club members.
