Greensboro, North Carolina (Mar 23, 2016)--Reedy Fork Elementary School may produce some of our nation's future meteorologists, thanks to a grant from Toshiba America Foundation. The school was awarded a $650 grant to buy a weather station for the school, and ESL teacher Thomas Gray, who wrote the grant, hopes the new equipment spurs student interest in science. "The ultimate goal of education, in my view, is to increase student understanding of the world they live in so they can be successful in it and help improve it," Gray said. "Learning about the fundamentals of weather and climate is essential to enhancing that world knowledge."
