Science grants for two local schools

Good news for two local schools:

Two Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools have received grants to fund school projects.

Carrboro High School received a $5,950 grant from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. Science teacher Robin Bulleri applied for the grant to fund a biotechnology project at Carrboro High.

Smith Middle School received a $5,000 Lowe's Toolbox for Education Grant from the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation. Teachers Kelly Sears and Melinda Fitzgerald received the grant to fund a proposal entitled, "Sediment Rangers: 8th Grade Stewardship and Outdoor Classroom Project."

Carrboro High is the brand new high school, opening this Fall. Robin Bulleri is moving there from Chapel Hill High.
