🎥✨ Grant Spotlight at Stewart Middle School ✨🎙️
Thanks to a Classroom Impact Grant written by our Media Specialist, Heather Deal, Stewart Middle School now has new video, podcasting, and professional lighting equipment in the media center! This grant, funded by the Douglas County Education Foundation, supports our School Improvement Plan by increasing scholar engagement, strengthening core academic skills, promoting collaboration, and building college and career readiness.
Scholars and teachers are already using the recording space in creative ways—producing live video study guides in Coach Warner's 6th grade Science classes, student newscasts, interviews for special events, and including our ESOL scholars recording in their native languages to ensure all voices are heard.
We are incredibly grateful to the Douglas County Education Foundation and its generous donors for making this opportunity possible. Your support is helping our scholars learn, create, and shine! 💙🦅
