Maysville, October 2024 – Maysville Elementary is thrilled to announce the receipt of a $14,500 grant from the Straker Foundation to support the creation of the Panther’s Discovery Den. This future resource room will offer teachers and students a unique space filled with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) materials and resources, designed to enhance learning and inspire creativity.
The Panther’s Discovery Den will be a hub for educational enrichment, providing access to games, books, and hands-on learning materials that foster exploration and engagement. This dedicated space aims to support teachers with valuable resources and give students the opportunity to learn through innovative, interactive experiences.
With funding secured, Maysville Elementary’s instructional coaches are now developing the implementation plan for the Discovery Den. This project marks an exciting step forward in the school’s commitment to high-quality, experiential learning.
The elementary is so excited to be partnering with a community organization that works tirelessly to give back to so many in our area. The Straker Foundation’s support enables us to create a space where students can explore and grow through meaningful, hands-on STEAM activities.
Stay tuned for further updates as we bring the Panther’s Discovery Den to life, thanks to the generosity of the Straker Foundation and its commitment to empowering students in our community.
