Parker School recently received a grant of $32,350 from the Broadbent Family Foundation. The funds are being used for the purchase and implementation of a new schoolwide data management system called Rediker.
The foundation, formed in 1992, provides funding for scholarships to students in Pennsylvania and Hawaii communities, as well as for educational initiatives that can have a significant, favorable impact on students, with particular emphasis on initiatives related to developing a student’s interest, knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, economics and communications.
The foundation’s most significant support has been to outstanding high school graduates in Pennsylvania who intend to major in science, engineering, economics or a foreign language while at the college or university of their choice. It also has supported scholarships for economically disadvantaged students attending a local community college and a program designed to improve the reading and communications skills of elementary school students, particularly those from families whose native language is not English.
Parker also received funds from the Broadbent Family Foundation in 2013 to support a significant renovation of its science lab and associated teaching space.
