Logan Serck and Jamie Ronquillo, teachers at Alcester-Hudson High School, were recently each awarded a $200 classroom grant from Zeta Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa. The checks were presented to them at their Monday morning staff meeting last week by Zeta Chapter Co-Presidents Janice Coleman and Christi Larsen.
Logan will be using the grant money to purchase supplies to use for experiments in his junior high science classes.
Jamie will be using the grant in her literature class during their study of the novel The Great Gatsby to create a simulation of a speakeasy. In this way, her students will be able to experience the aesthetic and livelihood of the 20s.
Preschool through high school teachers were invited to apply for the grant. The chapter received a total of eight applications.
