During the 2022-2023 school year, three ACSF teacher grants were selected by Airport Administration:
Shari Jacobs ($1000), Wagar Middle School, 7th grade, “Applied Mathematics” based on learning “Real Life Skills.” Students in Mrs. Jacob’s Applied Mathematics course are getting a head start through a new classroom game, “Real-World Math: Unexpected Events.” This game applies math concepts to everyday life by asking players to track expenses like bills, groceries, leisure and unexpected life events.
Emily Adams ($500), Wagar Middle School, 8th grade History / Constitution emphasis. “As future voting citizens, this group [of students] understands how important knowledge is for our future. … I also want to ensure our students’ social studies content includes economics,” said Mrs. Adams, who invited Financial Advisor Ron Evans of Raymond James Financial to speak with 8th-grade students about how to be successful in Finance.
Kristi Roecker ($500), Wagar Middle School, 6th/7th grade reading programs / class room library.
