On Thursday May 2nd Teacher LEADER Matthew Prange took his 4th grade Whiteford Elementary students to the Toledo Museum of Art. It was an absolutely gorgeous day so viewing art both inside and outside the museum was perfect. About 40 were in attendance including students, teachers and chaperons. Seven Monroe County district teachers
and UT personnel visited the confocal and electron
microscope facilities learning about its operations and how
to interface via internet to their students back in their
classrooms. This unique opportunity allows students
outside the university to have access and interact with over
$500,000 worth of equipment. Another instructional
session is scheduled for January of 2014. The Northwest Ohio Chapter of the U.S. Green
Building Council awarded eight grants to
area schools for the advancement and study
of sustainable ecology. Volunteers from
Central Catholic High School and Airport High School took
part.
