CTE DEPARTMENT AWARDED GRANTS

Glenwood City High School's Career and Technical Education Department has recently been awarded a number of gifts highlighted by a $20,000 grant from the Donaldson Company Foundation. This foundation strives to provide equitable access to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines through grants that increase youth engagement and learning in these areas of study. The grant will be used to help purchase welding machines and other equipment that will help enhance our programming. Thank you to Baldwin Operations Manager of Donaldson, Timothy McCormick and Jordan Hill, Donaldson employee and member of the GCHS Class of 2014 for helping secure these funds on behalf of Mr. Wannemacher and our Technical Education Department.

Another grant was provided to the GCHS Agriculture Education Department from the Sand County Foundation in coordination with We Energies, Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science, National Fish and Wildlife and Dairyland Power Cooperative. This grant, in the amount of $1,000 will provide an opportunity to help restore local grasslands to their native state while helping to create an environment for pollinators. This program is designed "... to engage students in adding native wildflower diversity to rural areas for the benefit of pollinators and Monarch butterflies," said Craig Ficenec, Sand County Foundation program director.

Congratulations to Mr. Wannemacher and Mr. VanderWaal on securing these funds.
