Walmart on South Broadway recently awarded Rice Elementary School a $1500 grant to fund supplies (new Hart tools) for the revamping of their STEM and learning labs. Principal John Smiley and the Rice Teacher of the Year, Keri McIntosh, met with local Hart tool representatives and filled their shopping carts with supplies for the upcoming year. In addition to tools for the STEM lab they purchased storage and organizational supplies for their new learning lab which will support student literacy and numeracy. By the end of the shopping spree, they had filled eight shopping carts full! The Rice administration is thankful for the support of Walmart and Hart Tools.
