Parker Elementary School of Science, Math and Technology, with an oversized check for $630 in grant money to be used for Kemp's "Touch 2 Speak" program as Nancy Lyons, the foundation's program coordinator, stands by at J.D. Parker in Stuart on Friday. MARTIN COUNTY — At most of the 15 classrooms, there were big smiles and raucous cheers when the Education Foundation of Martin County Prize Parade showed up Friday with red balloons and over-sized checks representing nearly $15,000 in grant money. But when foundation members came to Kelley Kemp's classroom at J.D. Parker School of Math, Science and Technology with a $630 check, there were tears.  "We really need this so badly," said Kemp, who, truth be told, was crying and smiling simultaneously.  Kemp teaches intellectually delayed children in kindergarten through second grade, and she applied for a grant to buy a point-and-touch computer for kids who have trouble using a mouse to negotiate a computer screen. "I have children who don't speak," Kemp said. "There's one little boy in particular who I was thinking of when applied for the grant. I think this will open doors for him and all the children.  As I was writing the application for the grant, I was thinking, 'How could they deny us?'" Lisa Rhodes, the foundation executive director, replied, "We didn't." The foundation's Prize Parade is patterned on the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol, which hands out checks to sweepstakes contest winners.  The winners of the foundation's Innovative Project Grants are teachers throughout the Martin County School District who develop proposals for STEAM-related (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) projects that go above and beyond regular classroom work. "We like for them to be hands-on projects that bring learning to life," Rhodes said as she prepared the next giant check for the next presentation. Almost all the teachers receiving grants Friday were at elementary schools, although applications are accepted at all levels.  "Our district's teachers are great across the board," Rhodes said. "But at the elementary level they seem to be a little more willing to go outside the box. And that's great because we want to get kids hooked on math and science early." Jeanine Webster, a foundation board member who was on the grant selection committee, said the winners are chosen in a blind test. By the time the fourth grant was awarded Friday afternoon at J.D. Parker, word that the Prize Parade was on campus had gotten around; and about 200 fourth- and fifth-graders were gathered in the school lobby.  They broke into cheers, whoops and hollers when they learned the $2,400 grant for the "Reaching for the Stars" project would be used to help them learn astronomy and includes a field trip to the Hallstrom Planetarium at the Indian River State College in Fort Pierce. Education Grants The Education Foundation of Martin County Prize Parade handed out 15 grants totaling $14,707.32.  The winners were: Mary Ayres, fifth grade, Palm City Elementary, $1,500, "Apple iPad Classroom Enhancement": Students use iPads to complete simulations of dissections, explore space and cell structure and create projects.

VGTI Florida scientists Mark Cameron, Zhong He and Yu Shi will be among the judges who will be reviewing the projects. Elementary students may choose from biological, earth/space, environmental, health and medicine, physical, and product testing categories to pose their question, frame their hypotheses, develop their test parameters, and draw their conclusions. Middle and high school science categories include behavioral, biochemistry, botany, chemistry, computer, earth/space, engineering, environmental, health/medicine, math, microbiology, physics, and zoology.
