Schools receive grants to fund projects
Two Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools have received grants to fund school projects.
Carrboro High School received a $5,950 grant from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. Science teacher Robin Bulleri applied for the grant to fund a
biotechnology project at Carrboro High.
Smith Middle School received a $5,000 Lowe’s Toolbox for Education Grant from the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation. Teachers Kelly Sears and Melinda Fitzgerald received the grant to fund a proposal entitled, “Sediment Rangers: 8th Grade Stewardship and Outdoor Classroom Project.”
Orchestra receives superior ratings
The Phillips Middle School orchestra received straight superior ratings at the Carowinds Music Festival in Charlotte on May 11.
The orchestra performed three pieces – “An English Folksong,” “Country Wedding,” by Smetana and “Gauntlet,” by Doug Spata – and was evaluated by a panel of three judges.
The orchestra also received straight superior ratings at the Eastern Regional Orchestra Festival in March. Ann Daaleman directs the orchestra.
