Red Raider Foundation Awards Grants -
Today, the Red Raider Foundation provided funding to Mrs. Tressler and Mr. Newcomer to help support the esports program, 3D printer upgrades, and purchase of a book vending machine. The faculty recipients applied for the grants, citing various ways the money would benefit students in curricular and extra-curricular areas. A luncheon was provided by the Seasons under the direction of Mrs. Amanda Snyder.

From co-advisor, Mr. Wertman…

We had several TSA members not in the picture because of other obligations and it’s still incredible a school as small as Montgomery has this much participation.
