Lower Dauphin Middle School has received a $1,000 grant from the PPL Foundation's "Empowering Educators" program. The grant will be used to purchase science kits.

The science kits will be used to teach students some of the basics of electronics, programming, and coding in the middle school's seventh-grade STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) exploratory class. The class is designed to bridge the gap between elementary school STEM lessons and STEM courses at the high school.
