Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Bayer Fund, has awarded the Southern Door elementary STEAM program a $10,000 grant. The funding is intended to enhance science, technology, engineering and math programming. Southern Door’s elementary STEAM program also includes a component for the arts and will use the grant to conduct outdoor investigations and help students become better team members and increase their growth mindset. To qualify for a Grow Education Grant, farmers nominated a school or school district to compete for a merit-based grant of $10,000 or $25,000.
