Grant Elementary 5^th Grade Teacher Goldie Lundeen doesn’t like to let effort and achievement go unnoticed. That’s why for her MEF grant, she was able to purchase art supplies that are typically beyond her classroom budget.

She encourages her students to apply their knowledge about perspective, color, and tone in a relaxed environment on Fridays. Through it, she has recognized that new friendships are forged through conversation and a collaboration of ideas.
