 </figure>Two Hays educators, Monica Dreiling and Rachel Wentling, have received classroom grants from the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.Dreiling, a fifth grade science, reading and writing teacher at Lincoln Elementary School, will use her $500 grant money to create a “In Good Hands: Engineering Space Gloves” unit. The unit will allow students to take a virtual tour and learn about space hazards and help engineer part of a space suit for a fictional NASA mission. About 50 students will take part in the unit.Wentling, principal at Holy Family Elementary School, will use her $500 grant to create a mobile STEM cart filled with reusable materials. The cart will make resources and materials available to instructors across grade levels. The $500 grant will allow Wentling to purchase one cart with materials costing an additional $1,000-$2,000, which the school will purchase, Wentling wrote in her application.The Junior Membership Classroom Grants are supported by the NSDAR Helen Pouch Memorial Fund. Two classroom grants are available for each state and the District of Columbia.State junior membership chairs and a panel of judges review applications for their state and determine two winners and a runner-up. Proposed projects must benefit students in the classroom directly.Recipients typically receive their grant awards in late August.&nbsp;Submitted
