Benjamin Stoddert teacher receives science tools grant

Jennifer L. Davis, a science teacher at Benjamin Stoddert Middle School, was recently selected as a 2009 Science Tools Grant award recipient by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA).

Davis will receive $250 to use toward lab supplies for the Stoddert science department and for students to use in a guided, in-class group science project. She will receive the grant next month at a ceremony hosted by the Southern Maryland AFCEA chapter.

The Science Tools Grant program is a joint effort between individual AFCEA Chapters and the Educational Foundation to promote effective science teaching and to enhance the abilities of capable STEM teachers in K-12 schools worldwide.

Teachers can apply for the grant through their local AFCEA chapter. For more information, visit http://www.afcea.org.
