Some of the awards were: the 2012 Oh Family Grant to Sally deGozzaldi which will be used to acquire a technology assisted formative assessment student response system for the math department and a Mini-Grant to Patrick Mulligan and John Mason for a project to plan, design and build a pergola and picnic tables, creating an outdoor classroom area behind the middle school.
