Midwest Energy & Communications supports RBJSH Arts
Ross Beatty Jr./Sr. High Visual Art Department was one of 22 recipients awarded a generous grant by Midwest Energy & Communications. MEC received $94,000 in requested funds for the Strengthening Schools Grant, and ultimately gifted $30,000 in awards across their service territory.
RBJSH Art Department received a grant totaling $1,500. This award will be used to purchase a glass fusing kiln. The new kiln will enable students to create art projects using glass as the medium.
Last spring students at RBJSH dabbled in glass fusing under the guidance of a local glass artist. They loved the diversity of the medium. Glass work can be functional or decorative, so each student has many of options in regards to the direction of the artwork. The glass fusing kiln will make this medium more assessable.
Thank you Midwest Energy & Communications! Your generosity makes a huge difference in the education of Ross Beatty Jr./Sr. High students!
