 Crellin Elementary School receives the Intel "Schools of Distinction for Mathematics Award"
Every year, Intel honors U.S. schools demonstrating excellence in math and science education through innovation teaching and learning environments. To be considered as an Intel School of Distinctions, schools must develop an environment and curricula that meet or exceed benchmarks put forth by national mathematics and science content standards.
Up to three schools at each level—elementary, middle, and high school—will be named as finalists in the math and science categories. The 18 schools will receive a cash grant of $5,000 from the Intel Foundation and a trip to Washington, D.C., for a four-member team from their school and district. Six winners will be selected from the finalists and receive a $10,000 cash grant. One of these winners will be selected as the "Star Innovator" and will receive a $15,000 grant. All five winning schools and the Star Innovator will also receive products and services from program sponsors. Crellin Elementary School was selected as being an Intel School of Distinction and received a trip to Washington D.C. On September 20, 2011, Crellin was selected as a finalist for the Star Innovator Award recipient. On behalf of the Board of Education, we are extremely proud of Dr. McCauley, the faculty, staff, parents and the community of Crellin. More...
Congratulations to all of you! |
