A critical aspect of making the hybrid learning model work is achieved when the students start drawing connections between what they learn in the classroom with what they learn at home.
With that in mind, the Marion Scholarship and Education Committee continued a busy fall season by raising funds that any day now will place a large, portable touchscreen in Sippican School to be used for both in-person and remote learning.
Working with Sippican School Principal Marla Sirois and Assistant Principal Sean Persico, committee members Marthe Soden, Steve Cook, Julie LeFavor, and Old Rochester Regional Superintendent of Schools Mike Nelson will be able to provide Sippican School with the item not covered by the school budget.
All of the teachers at Sippican School will access the new screen estimated to measure in excess of 40 inches. It will have sturdy Gorilla Glass fortifying its durability, allowing children to participate in its use.
The Marion Scholarship and Education Committee administers two funds: The Education Fund, which provides Sippican School with items such as the new touchscreen, and the Scholarship Fund, which provides monetary awards to applying Marion students entering college for the first time. Both funds are supported entirely by donations from generous Marion residents.
To make a donation, please send a check in any amount to “The Marion Scholarship and Education Fund”, Marion Town House, 2 Spring Street, Marion, MA 02738.
