CHESTER – Tammy Liefer, a fifth grade teacher at Chester Grade School has been awarded a $980 grant entitled “Hands-On Science 2.0” from the Lambda State Foundation for Educational Studies, Inc., a constituent of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.
The money was used to buy science equipment and science-themed novels for all three fifth grade classrooms at CGS.
This grant was a follow-up to Liefer’s 2019 project “Hands-On Science.”
Fellow members of the local Delta Kappa Gamma chapter, Beta Delta, assisted Liefer with her project by providing letters of support and helping her complete the application.
The Chapter also voted to pay for the shipping and handling of the materials so all of the grant funds received would directly benefit the students. Once the funds were received, members helped her place labels in the 95 new novels.
The fifth grade students were excited with all of the new items that this grant provided for them and have been putting them to good use!
