Congratulations to Ryerson Public School grade one teacher, Cheryl Kewley, for receiving one of the 2013 Barrday Teacher of Excellence awards!

As part of the award process, Barrday offers the teachers of excellence recipients an opportunity to submit a proposal for a school project, which can be funded up to $10,000. Cheryl and her colleague Kim Gill, put together a proposal for an “Innovation Station” that would provide opportunities for students at Ryerson PS to build and create using hands-on materials and various technology tools.

And…their creative and innovative project proposal was selected by Barrday! The proposal included the purchase of a 3-D printer, Cubelets that can be used to build robotic objects and littleBits that can be used to create electronic prototypes. The building possibilities could be endless!  They hope to begin using the Innovation Station with a nutrition break club and then provide support for school wide use by interested staff at all grade levels. Everyone is so excited to begin using these fabulous resources.

Ryerson PS would like to thank the Barrday Company for their generous support and recognition!
