BATH COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES STEM GRANT
FROM TOSHIBA AMERICA FOUNDATION FOR $2,500
Hot Springs, VA (August 27, 2025) – Bath County High School is pleased to announce it has received a $2,500 STEM grant from the Toshiba America Foundation (TAF). These funds will support the Greenify Bath County Project.
The Greenify Bath County grant will support a garden and greenhouse project at Bath County High School, serving the entire student body in grades 8-12, including both culinary and science students. The project’s goal is to provide hands-on learning experiences in environmental science by having students plant, maintain, and harvest crops. This will deepen their understanding of sustainable agriculture, ecology, and nutrition while integrating real-world applications into their studies.
Toshiba America Foundation’s grants fund projects designed by individual classroom teachers. This “direct-to-teacher” approach brings immediate results. Teachers are able to change the way they teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects because the grant supports equipment for hands-on experiments and inquiry-based approaches to the curriculum. At TAF, we believe that STEM is a lot more fun than just reading a textbook. TAF grants provide teachers with the tools they need to be more effective educators. The grants make the classroom a more exciting place for both teachers and students.
