A $2,000 grant from the Nashwauk Area Community Fund (NACF) helped buy supplies for 5th and 6th grade science students in Nashwauk-Keewatin. N-K fifth grade teacher, Mr. Lysaker, planned to purchase science materials both disposable and reusable for the classroom. Items planned for purchase were microscopes, batteries and bulbs, magnets, soil, seeds, paint, paper, pulleys, weights and measures, roller coaster materials, rockets, chemistry supplies, and a wide variety of other materials that will improve learning for students. This grant will benefit at least 80 students each year.
