Van Buren Local School District is proud to announce that Mr. Brian Beining, K-5 STEM teacher, and Mrs. Jordan May, elementary art teacher, have been awarded a $4,000 HancockREADS grant from The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation.
The funds will be used in an art and STEAM inclusion program Beining and May have worked together to develop. This program will give all K–5 students the chance to work with new tools and materials to create amazing 3D art. Students will combine art with science, technology, and engineering in fun, hands-on ways. Whether they’re building sculptures or solving design challenges, kids will grow their creativity, confidence, and teamwork skills. It’s all about making learning fun, inclusive, and meaningful for every student in our elementary school.
Beining and May join middle school teachers Mrs. Karen Dishong and Mr. Adam Greer and high school teacher Mrs. Alyssa Leddy as HancockREADS recipients this year.
Congratulations, Mr. Beining and Mrs. May!
