BASD teacher gets PPL grant

A Bethlehem Area School District teacher is among 50 teachers throughout eastern and central Pennsylvania selected as recipients of 2021 Empowering Educators grants from the PPL Foundation. Each teacher receives a grant of $1,000 to spend on equipment and materials for projects.

Joe Williams, Donegan Elementary School, Bethlehem, will use the grant for STEM kits that will allow teachers to integrate STEM concepts into various subjects, allowing students of different learning styles and levels to explore, create and discover at their own pace.

Since the grant program’s inception in 2003, PPL, and now The PPL Foundation, have awarded more than $300,000 to 265 teachers.
