Grants Awarded to Nursery Road Faculty

Congratulations are in order for the following Nursery Road Elementary School teachers who have received grants to help fund projects in the classroom. 

Third-grade teachers Mary Beth Lambert and Morgan McDaniel, received a Teaching American History grant. 

The history class combines in-class instruction along with a four-day field study that allowed them to experience firsthand the physical locations where many significant decisions regarding the United States Constitution occurred. 

The teachers recently experienced this on a trip to Washington, D.C. 

Deborah Gurley, a guidance counselor, and Deidre Cousins, a math coach, received a Reflex Learning software grant. 

The software will be used with the second and third grade Math Buddy Program during the 2012-2013 school year.  The grant is valued at $1,400.

Jessica Felker, the school's library media specialist, received a $2,000 Dollar General Literacy grant for the 2012-2013 school year. 

The grant, titled "Reaching Out to Reluctant Readers," will provide e-readers and e-books for male reluctant readers in third, fourth, and fifth grades.
