MTEF Grant Brings High-Tech Science Tools to MTSD Classrooms for the Start of 2025-26!
The Mequon-Thiensville Education Foundation (MTEF) is thrilled to support science education in our district with a recent grant that provided 45 new stereoscopes to the MTSD science department. These stereoscopes, 15 each for Steffen Middle School, Lake Shore Middle School, and Homestead High School, are in place and ready to make an impact in classrooms.
The idea came from Dawn Pfaff, a dedicated Homestead High School science teacher, who reached out last fall to propose enhancing the middle school science curriculum and replacing outdated equipment originally granted by MTEF over 20 years ago.
Dawn shared this enthusiastic update with us:
“We were able to procure 45 stereoscopes, 15 each for Steffen, Lake Shore and HHS. These stereoscopes are perfect for our curriculum. They have battery power so our middle school students do not have to find outlets or avoid cords. They have cameras that attach seamlessly to the school-issued Chromebooks so students and teachers can share and collaborate on what is seen. They are easy to use, durable, and a fantastic addition. Last week I had the opportunity to work with our middle school teachers to demonstrate and practice and it was absolutely awesome! So much energy and enthusiasm!”
This is exactly why MTEF exists. To make a meaningful difference in the educational experience of MTSD students. We are proud to fund impactful grants that support our mission of fostering excellence in education.
