Students at East Shore Leadership Academy in Port Huron had a couple of big announcements this week as students experienced an in-person Zoo for the Day and received news of a safety grant from the State of Michigan.
The Exotic Zoo arrived on Monday, May 2nd, and students were able to get an up close view of animals while learning topics that meet the Michigan state curriculum standards.
East Shore Leadership Academy also learned this week that they are the recipients of $41,738 grant from the State of Michigan. The grant is part of a state funding initiative of $10 million from the Competitive School Safety Grant Program.
Governor Whitmer announced 150 awards from the grant program which will help schools make safety improvements to their buildings and retain and recruit more teachers.
Nancy Gardner, ESLA School Administrator, said, “ESLA will use the safety grant money for new interior door handles, two-way radios for all staff, defensive barrier lock systems for all doors, and increasing security by adding a double door entry-way.”
