In December Ramtech had the opportunity Ramtech to continue contributing in our annual investment in sponsoring grants to the Mansfield Independent School District Education Foundation. This year two donations were given for the ‘I Can Code That!’ grant program at two of the district’s schools.
At D. P. Morris Elementary, teachers. Ms. Madison Chandlee, Ms. Sarah Moore, Ms. Anallely Beranza, Ms. Veronica Talamantes, Ms. Jocelyn Serrato, and Ms. Alma Helbert collaborated on the program Light Up OUR Learning! The grant will allow them to purchase a light table and manipulatives for both literacy and math stations to allow students to explore shapes, colors, letters to build words and support fine motor skill development while they trace, draw, and manipulate objects.
At Roberta Tipps Academy where Ms. Camie Wlaker, Ms. Shea Stapleton, Ms. Jennifer Perez, and Ms. Sarah Williams wrote a grant for I Can Code That! This grant will build STEM skills at an early age and spark an interest for our students! With this grant, the students will learn the basic concepts of coding through simple LEGO building kits.
In making the grants, Matt Slataper expressed Ramtech’s commitment to the program by stating, “We were grateful for the opportunity to support the teachers and young scholars through the MISD Foundation’s grants program this year. We’re blessed to be able to invest in the next generation through a foundation we’ve held dear for more than 20 years.”
