Donors Choose a LATECH COE Graduate to Support

Mrs. Tiph Sumrall, a Louisiana Tech University College of Education graduate and teacher at Buckeye Elementary, recently recieved funding on Donors Choose, a website for teachers to raise funds for important and engaging activities that may sometimes be costly. Through support from donors from around the region, including other Louisiana Tech University alumni, Mrs. Sumrall was able to purchase 17 stability balls to replace classroom chairs. By doing so, she hopes that her 1st grade students who often need to "jig...gle, bounce, or sway side to side" can stay focused and engaged during classroom activities. In addition, the replacement of the chairs with the balls will also," promote good posture, strengthen abdominal muscles, and improve circulation, balance, and coordination," according to Mrs. Sumrall. Congratulations on your award and your desire to truly serve the kiddos with whom you were entrusted to teach, Mrs. Sumrall!
