Ascension Parish is the ultimate beneficiary of these teacher grant programs,” said David Alexander, Ascension Public Schools Superintendent.<\/p>\n \u201cThese educators are exceptional at thinking up interesting and new ways to interact with their students,\u201d said Monika Arnold, Community Relations and Business Development manager. \u201cAll of the applications are strong contenders with great initiatives. Narrowing the choices is critical and judging can be difficult, but our teammates at EATEL enjoy reading through and rewarding this community\u2019s well-deserving educators.\u201d<\/p>\n Covering a large spectrum of students of all ages and abilities, this year\u2019s winners come from all over the parish. Winning programs ranged from creating mini libraries for little learners to challenge their minds, crafting calm down centers for those who need a moment to catch their breath and mapping out math problems with a fidget fix known as Pop-its! Some applicant-educators focused their energy on English Language Arts (ELA) while others leaned on the experiential elements, metrics and health sciences of cooking. Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) projects continued to be popular and supported creative learning through Micro:bits, computer sciences and paleontology\/fossil kits.<\/p>\n For over 20 years, EATEL\u2019s \u201cReach-a-Kid, Teach-a-Kid\u201d program has made awards totaling over $100,000 \u2013 opening the doors to creative thinking for K-12 students and teachers.
