Funds to buy math, science, shop equipment
Jan. 31, 2024 / The local chapter of the Oregon Retired Educators Association (OREA) awarded more than $850 to Mazama High School Jan. 31 for math, science and shop equipment.
Retired Mazama educators Larry and Winne Wagner attended the morning staff meeting to present the awards to four teachers. The grants went to:
• $173.50 to science teacher Megan Dunaway for supplies and a Nova DVD, Mystery Beneath the Voltmeters.
• $238 to robotics teacher Laura Nickerson to purchase a vibrating timing device for use during league robotics tournaments.
• $250 to math and science teacher Rachel Rogers to purchase building supplies for a geometry street of dreams house design.
• $189 to Mazama’s shop teachers to purchase a cordless shop vac.
The 35-member group organizes an annual fall auction to raise money so it can provide grants each year to a school in the Klamath Basin. This year, that school was Mazama High School.
