The staff of Pony Express Elementary with a check from Direct Communications
Vicki Smith at Pony Express Elementary said: “I’m happy that Direct Communication is so supportive of our schools! Thank you for your continued donation. It is extremely helpful to have money that we can apply to an area of interest and passion. I plan to apply the $500 toward purchasing items/materials needed for hands on learning experiences by students. We are trying to incorporate lessons using science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In so doing, we have found that many lessons require items that we have not yet purchased. This money will allow us to continue working in this area.Again, thank you so much for thinking of us and for your generosity.”
