COMBS EDUCATOR RECEIVES IMPACT EDUCATION GRANT TO PURCHASE CHROMEBOOKS

Renita Perry, a fourth-grade teacher at Combs Intermediate School, is the recipient of a $1,000 Vantage Credit Union Impact Education grant.  The grant will be used to purchase four Chromebooks for the class.  Purchasing the additional Chromebooks will allow students in her class a one to one ratio with the much-used technology.

“Four more Chromebooks will allow my students to have technology at their fingertips all day to help them become more technology efficient by participating in podcast, webinars or making instructional videos to become stronger global citizens who are able to compete with their peers,” said Perry

Perry is one of five area educators receiving the Impact Education grant.  Recipients are selected by popular vote based on a 60-seconds or less video submitted to Vantage Credit Union explaining their need for funds to impact education for their students.
