B-R gets grant from Monsanto for a "Makerspace."

Congratulations! Your school district has been selected to receive a $10,000.00 grant for Implementing a Makerspace for K-8 students through America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. Growing the next generation is very important to farmers, and they realize that you are an integral part of that process.  To show their appreciation, farmers in your area nominated you to receive this grant. After your application was submitted, it was reviewed first by math and science teachers from ineligible school districts, then by the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council, a group of 29 prominent farmers from across the country. The Advisory Council was impressed with your dedication to your students and your innovative ideas for improving their educational experiences.
