Madison No. 1 Middle School's 7th and 8th-grade science teacher, Natalie Carpenter, has been awarded a STEM grant from Arizona Public Service (APS). This grant, in partnership with the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation, will supply funding for innovative STEM learning tools and resources that aim to enhance the educational experience for her students.
With this grant, Ms. Carpenter will be able to acquire a range of new electronics, including Raspberry Pi devices, Arduino starter kits, and a multi-color 3D printer for her classes. These new tools will provide her students with the opportunity to participate in hands-on projects that will deepen their understanding of STEM concepts through real-world applications and foster their creativity.
Phoenix Suns player Ryan Dunn and the Suns Gorilla visited Ms. Carpenter's classroom to present her with the grant award and a custom Suns jersey, adding to the excitement of the announcement.
Thanks to a generous grant from Arizona Public Service (APS), Madison No. 1 Middle School has enhanced its campus with 66 new trees for students and the community to enjoy.
On October 24, staff volunteers from APS, alongside Madison School District staff and students, gathered to plant these new trees around the school grounds.
Through its Community Tree Program, APS collaborates with Title 1 schools, non-profit organizations, neighborhood associations, cities, and towns in lower-income areas to supply trees and support their planting. Since the initiative began in 2022, APS has successfully planted over 1,300 trees.
The newly planted trees at Madison No. 1 Middle School will provide additional shade and cooling benefits, both on campus and along the community sidewalks on 16th Street and Missouri.
