Environmental Physics Grant Awarded to Olney Friends School

Olney Friends School is pleased to announce it has received a $1,290 grant from the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. The school will use these funds to support the purchase of laboratory equipment in physics.

“Our science curriculum across the board – in biology, chemistry and physics – is evolving to center around the natural resources of Appalachia, the region where we live,” says Cindy Rogers, academic dean. The grant will support the integration of environmental science into the laboratory curriculum in physics.

Students routinely assist the Belmont County Soil and Water Conservation District with monitoring the health of Captina Creek Watershed. “Now, we have a chance to integrate our strength in environmental science into physics as well,” Rogers notes.

The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is a regional community foundation and 501 (c)3 public charity serving the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio.
