Bancroft-Rosalie School was awarded $5000 from the Fontanelle Company FOCUS (Fontanelle Offering Communities Understanding Support) program. The money will be used to purchase an Edwards 40 Ton Jaws 4 Ironworker for metal fabrication. The primary use of the Ironworker is for learning metal working skills in welding and fabrication as part of Powerdrive. Most metal fabrication has been done by transporting the metal to local businesses and using their equipment.
John Ross contacted the school and provided information about the grant. Mr. Rob Smith and I put the grant together and submitted it to Fontanelle.
Fontanelle is a seed company and Allen Steinmeyer is the local dealer supporting the grant.
The school appreciates the efforts by Fontanelle to support education in Nebraska.
