Katie Ditizler (left) and Michael Gruhn, eight grade science students, hold remote control devices as they "check-out" the new laptop computer given to the Grinnell Middle School by the Lydia Reida Fund of the Greater Poweshiek Community Foundation.

Another grant from the Lydia Reida Fund is used to purchase "Quizdom" and one-half the cost of a ken-a-vision flex camera for the Grinnell Middle School science department

Quizdom is an interactive computer program that science students may operate using remote-control devices that enable them to work through problems step by step.

The flex camera allows teachers to project table-top demonstrations onto a TV screen for better viewing. It may also be used to project microscope demonstrations.

Roger Henderson (center) vocal teacher at Grinnell High School accepts a check from Diane Hawkins (second from right). The check is the first annual grant from the John F. and Irene L. Doupnik Fund of the Greater Poweshiek Community Foundation designated to pay entry and registration fees for student vocal and instrumental competitions. Observing are (from left) Sara Adams, a participant in the High School's vocal solo ensemble and Liz Kolbe, a participant in the percussion ensemble. At far right is Dave Newport, band director.
