Cambria Elementary would like to recognize and thank recent donors who sent monetary contributions to the school for their hands-on, minds-on science program. Generous donations have been received from: Walmart, Sheetz, Cambria Co-Gen, Dr. Joseph Cavalier, Dr. Eric and Patti Hicks, and Kim Springer of State Farm Insurance. Some of the donors have recently visited the school to see the students using their science kits. They experienced the excitement that hands-on learning provides for students in the classrooms!
The donations for the science kits are important because Cambria Elementary is part of a five year federal Investing in Innovation (i3) grant that provides professional development opportunities for K-5 teachers on inquiry based teaching and learning. The professional development is provided by ASSET Inc. Learn more about this initiative by visiting: www.assetinc.org
Unfortunately, the line item in the governor’s budget for science materials for their science program has been cut for the 2011-2012 school year. The budget cut has forced Cambria to be creative in locating funding that will allow them to continue their hands-on science program.
Anyone interested in contributing to the science program should contact the school. Please call (814) 472-8432.
