LS ED Foundation Awards Grants
LITTLE SILVER - Students at Markham Place and Point Road Schools will start the next school year off with $47,386 worth of new equipment, thanks to grants from the Education Foundation of Little Silver.
Requests were submitted by teachers and administrators of both schools for the best and latest technological equipment such as ELMO document cameras, digital cameras, Senteo's, and SMAR T boards . The Education Foundation board members carefully considered each request and granted the schools with the equipment they felt is most in need, and will best serve the students.
The students are not the only ones to benefit from the grants. Wendy Whittle, a first grade teacher and Chairperson of Point Road School teachers, whose request for additional ELMO document cameras and projectors was granted by the EFLS explains "For the teachers that currently have an ELMO document camera in the classroom, they find that it removes the need for overhead machines, transparencies and digital cameras and allows for 'teachable moments' to be recognized throughout the school day."
The Grants and Gifts were awarded for the 2009-10 academic year benefit students across all grades and multiple subject areas, and further support the foundation's mission to enhance the educational experience of Little Silver students through technology.
