File Attachment:
Summary: Tesoro Corporation, a Fortune 500 Company, is committed to making significant and positive impact on the communities where they operate. They believe today’s students are the driving force behind tomorrow’s communities and must be given every opportunity to succeed academically and personally. As such, Tesoro is committed to making community investments to support K-12 education. Tesoro’s grant program is one way to support the communities where they have a significant presence.
We are pleased that Tesoro has approved our grant proposal to help launch the Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) After School Clubs to be implemented at all nine of the MDUSD’s middle schools. This grant will provide $110,000 to implement two after-school STEM sessions offered throughout the 2014-2015 school year. The schools and district believe this grant is important because it will support student interest in STEM-related courses, develop knowledge and skills of students as they enter into STEM-related pathways in high school and increase partnerships with community stakeholders.
