The Wicomico County Board of Education honored outstanding students, staff, schools and community partners Tuesday, June 8, at the final Awards & Recognitions Night of the 2009-10 school year.
Outstanding STEM Partner
The STEM initiative in Wicomico County Public Schools, part of Wicomico County Secondary Initiatives, aims to help students explore careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through special programs and events, and partnerships with companies and organizations in the community. The school system piloted a STEM Academy at Salisbury Middle School last year, and Bennett Middle School will offer students the opportunity to participate in its new STEM Academy next year. Wicomico County Secondary Initiatives would like to recognize the Becker Morgan Group for its continued support of the STEM Initiative in our public schools. The company has volunteered staff for support of such activities as the Eastern Shore Regional LEGO Tournament, STEM Engineering Expo at Wicomico High School, STEM Discovery Day at Bennett Middle School, and our STEM Saturdays. They have provided educational materials to be distributed to our students, and have been guest speakers to classes while promoting careers in engineering. Award sponsor is Coordinator of Secondary Initiatives David Harner. In appreciation for the company’s ongoing support of the STEM Initiative in Wicomico County Public Schools, the Wicomico County Board of Education is pleased to recognize the Tom Becker, Vice President, and the Becker Morgan Group a certificate as an Outstanding STEM Partner.

If there are any retirees reading this post, please let me thank each of you for what you do every day for the kids ofr Wicomico County.
