Lisa Wiggins, a teacher at Northwestern State University Lab School and 2011 Louisiana AITC Teacher of the year was awarded a CHS Foundation grant. Sixteen projects around the country were selected for funding from more than 90 highly competitive applications submitted. The NSU Elementary Lab School’s “Super Power Pollinator! It’s a Bird. It’s a Plane. No, It’s Our Garden Heroes, The Mighty Pollinators” is a school-wide project in which students plant two pollinator gardens, participate in lessons about the importance of honey bees in agriculture. They also work with university specialists to track what students learn from the project.
