Globes for Every Third Grader – For the third year in a row, in collaboration with the Lexington Sunrise Rotary and Wal-Mart, every third grader in the city and county was given, to keep at home, a 12-inch, mountain relief globe that contains over 4,000 current names and boundaries of countries, cities, oceans, rivers. This year third grade teams planned questions that were sent home with students to encourage family interaction with the globes.
FOSS Kits – Funds for the purchase of more hands-on, interactive science materials that promote cooperative learning and stimulate excitement for 4th and 5th graders about insects and plants; magnetism and electricity; the sun, moon and stars; landforms, variables, measurement, and mixtures and solutions. These kits provided the opportunity for fifth grade hands-on innovative exploration of physics and earth science.
