Regional Day & MTES Students Work Together on Wood Shop Project

Local optometrist sponsors grant for project through Manchester Twp. Educational Foundation.

Regional Day School students recently worked with third graders from Manchestert Twp. Elementary School to make wooden eyeglass holders in the RDS shop.

The cooperative project was made possible through a Manchester Twp. Educational Foundation (MTEF) Classroom Mini-Grant sponsored by Dr. Donna Malloy, of EyesFirst Vision in Manchester.  The $470 grant was awarded to Jeffrey Bishop, Industrial Arts teacher at Regional Day School, to provide walnut boards for the project.

Dr. Malloy serves on the MTEF Board of Directors and is the major event sponsor for their annual golf outing.  The MTEF is a non-profit foundation that provides support to the Manchester Township School District.  MTEF awarded $9,000 in classroom grants this year.  For more information, visit their website at www.mtef4kids.org .
