Dalewood Middle School seventh-graders will get a feel for the human body this winter – they’ll use clay to mold lungs, stomachs, skeletons and other parts of the body’s systems.
That’s because Cara Morris, a seventh-grade science teacher at Dalewood, got a $600 grant from the Junior League of Chattanooga to buy clay and other materials.
“Without this grant I wouldn’t be able to do this kind of project,” Morris said.
Her “Bodies on Display” entry was one of almost 30 projects chosen to receive mini-grants of up to $750 from the Junior League of Chattanooga, the local chapter of a roughly 100-year-old women’s organization that promotes volunteerism.
