With the recent upgrades in our BES Innovation Center and our cafeteria thanks to funding from our PTA and LSIC as well as the WV Governor's STEM Initiative, the fifth grade is in need of a video technology upgrade. We are looking to purchase a Nikon 3400 DSLR camera to use in video editing, recording academic and athletic events, and numerous STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics) projects. This camera and the accessories package will be used by my fifth grade and be available for use by our other fifth graders as well as our feeder middle school BMS as well. We at the Blennerhassett schools are setting the bar much higher for which STEM programs will be measured in our county and our state. My class, as well as Mrs. Smith's 3rd grade class, was awarded a total of $6,000 in grant money to expand our Robotics program. Our PTA purchased expert level video editing software, two 50" 4K resolution VIZIO Smart TVs, and brackets. These will be used to broadcast information for students and parents throughout the school day and beyond. The requested equipment will allow our school to provide top level technology to our students. Since our excellent auditorium is the hub for Wood County Schools as well as other community events, we will continue to show why Blennerhassett is a great "... educational environment to address the needs, talents, and abilities of all our students."
