FPL awards Callaway Elementary with a classroom makeover grant
CALLAWAY, Fla. (WMBB) — Callaway Elementary celebrated a generous donation Tuesday morning. One that will transform their steam room with a makeover. Callaway Elementary is one of three Northwest Florida schools chosen to receive $50,000 to spruce up their S.T.E.A.M. classroom. The goal is to instill innovative education in students from a young age. Florida Power and Light hits 100 years of business this year. The company's initiative previously granted five schools a year with a classroom makeover. But with the centennial anniversary coming up FPL officials say the company wanted to quadruple that number. 'Science, technology, engineering and mathematics, that's our STEM curriculum. We believe that's the keys to success for growing students to become, you know, productive students in the workforce. And so having that STEM background is really important. We believe it's a good investment to provide that sort of education and access to that technology in the classrooms,' said FPL Senior External Affairs Manager Shane Boyett. 'The steam room is one of my favorite classes ever. It's really, really, really fun. I'm glad that this is going to be a really big donation because, like, the donations, help so much through the funding of Steam room, its one of the funnest rooms, I think, in this whole school, so definitely I think it's going to be great,' said Fourth Grader Remington Gillespie.
