Salimah LaForce, CACP Research Analyst and Chair of Bolton Academy PTA’s Grant Writing Committee has secured a grant to fund a Science Education & Active Learning (SEAL) Lab for grades 2 – 5 to enhance project based, hands on learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The SEAL Lab mission is to enrich the students’ science education experience and advance their understanding of themselves, the planet and the universe; with a near-term goal of positively impacting academic achievement and the long-term goal of preparing them to succeed in the 21st century workplace. This grant was awarded by the Lowe’s Charitable Educational Foundation on January 10th, 2013. Since the inception of the award, Lowe's has helped more than 1,000 schools across America to implement projects that help improve and strengthen their schools and communities. CACP is honored to participate in this initiative, which will further enhance and support the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards and STEM education.
