The Margaret Daniel Primary Educational Foundation met January 14th to present two grants to two teachers at Margaret Daniel Primary. The recipients were Mrs. Donna Gabbard and Mrs. Amy Smith. Mrs. Gabbard received a grant for a Rhythm, Rhyme and Music project in which she will be able to purchase a variety of historical costumes, rhythm instruments and materials to help foster teamwork, focus, respect, community, ensemble, balance and listening. Mrs. Smith's grant is for a Promethean ACTIVboard for her classroom in which she will be able to integrate technology into all curriculum areas with students being actively engaged to enhance their learning. The two grants totaled $9,000. The Margaret Daniel Primary School Foundation was established in October of 2005. As to date, the foundation has awarded over $13,000 to teachers for special projects in which student learning was the focus.
