Your support is changing the game for students! We had the pleasure of sitting down with Mr. Leson Gervais, Physics Teacher at Manor Early College High School, to talk about the exciting growth of the robotics program and the impact of his Manor Schoolhouse Foundation classroom innovation grants!

With the support of multiple MSF innovation grants over the years, Mr. Gervais has brought STEM to life with 3D printers, a drone pilot program, physics & astronomy equipment, and more.
