King Elementary School in Green Bay was surprised with a $20,000 prize after being chosen as the winner of the Packers’ ‘Leap for Learning’ program. The school will use the prize for a Technology makeover to improve STEM education. Students also had the opportunity to meet running back AJ Dillon.
The partnership between UScellular and the Green Bay Packers kicked off in September, inviting administrators and parents from across the state to nominate schools for the technology makeover. King Elementary School was chosen for the award and Principal Mark Malcore expressed gratitude for the donation, stating, “From coding curriculum to robotics to updated technology equipment, we have big plans to put the $20,000 donation to use in a way that will truly help our students thrive.”
The technology upgrades are seen as essential for student growth and success, and the director of sales for UScellular in Wisconsin and N. Illinois, Marlon Bailey, emphasized the importance of a STEM education and the company’s commitment to investing in the next generation.
In addition to the donation, UScellular will also be donating 300 copies of AJ Dillon’s book, “Quadzilla Finds His Footing,” to libraries across the state through the Wisconsin Library Association.
The surprise assembly where the $20,000 donation was presented to King Elementary students was a heartwarming and exciting event. The school will be using the funds to provide their students with the latest technology and equipment necessary for a well-rounded education. The students were thrilled to meet AJ Dillon and celebrate this monumental occasion.
This partnership between UScellular, the Green Bay Packers, and King Elementary School is not only about investing in technology, but also about investing in the future of education and promoting the importance of STEM education for students across the state. It is a truly rewarding and impactful collaboration that will benefit the school and its students for years to come.
