SAISD educator nets FirstMark Credit Union scholarship
Collins Garden PE teacher Roxanne Calvo has an extra $500 to spend on enhancing both her students’ educations and physical fitness. As one of 10 Bexar County-area beneficiaries of Firstmark Credit Union’s annual Educator’s Scholarship Program, Calvo will use the funds to purchase equipment for Action Based
Learning. “This program is based upon brain research that supports the link of movement and physical activity to increased academic performance,” Calvo said. “We are so excited! The kids really like the program and we hope that the whole school will soon be involved and implement activities in the classrooms.”
