Ft Bragg Club: Hodge Room
Description:
Every year, the North Carolina Chapter of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) grants several awards up to the amount of $1,000 each to schools in Cumberland County and surrounding areas.
These awards are given to schools with a demonstrated need for money to buy tools, equipment, or material for teaching science courses.
Last year, the chapter gave more than $20,000 to 18 local schools to support science and technology education. Recipients included Benjamin Martin Elementary School, which was destroyed in a tornado that struck Fayetteville, North Carolina, on April 16, 2011. The scholarship donation helped the school re-establish its science teaching tools area.
Please join us in the Hodge Room to welcome and congratulate recipients of the 2012 Science Teaching Tools awards!
