Beckman Catholic High School receives grant
Rockwell Collins announced Beckman Catholic High School is a recipient of a $2,500 Green Communities Grant. The grants are awarded through the “Saving a Tree One Step at a Time Project. Beckman’s application sought funding for multi-me-dia classroom projectors.
The projectors will reduce the amount of paper used at Beckman. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to go paper-less as much as possible. The multimedia interactive projectors will be used in class-rooms, so teachers can reduce the amount of paper used and rely on projected visuals and recorded lessons. According to Patricia Lehmann, assistant principal, “The projec-tors will enhance the instructional technol-ogy integration that has been ongoing at
Beckman. The projectors will allow teach-ers to record lessons and provide them for struggling students or students who may have been absent for the lesson.”
According to the application, “The pur-pose of the program is to improve the en-vironmental condition of the communities in which Rockwell Collins operates. Grants will support completion of projects that conserve natural resources and raw materi-als, positively impact environmental media (air, water, land, and renewable energy) or restore ecological habitats in general or af-ter a natural disaster. “ The grant includes a community component. Rockwell Collins employees are actively involved in helping with the implementation of the project.
