Verizon Foundation Funds New Stern Center Website

The Stern Center for Language and Learning of Williston has received a $15,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation for support of the development of a new website.
The existing website provides general information as well as links to other online sources. The new website will be redesigned and expanded to contain updated informational sections specific to parents, students and teachers. The new, interactive, expanded site will also be a vehicle for fundraising, including secure, online payments. In addition, online course registration will be available.
Past Verizon Foundation support of the Stern Center includes $25,000 for TIME for Teachers Onlineä professional development program for K-3 educators and $20,000 for the Medical-Education Project, which teaches medical students to recognize and refer children with reading disabilities.
The Stern Center is a nonprofit literacy center dedicated to helping children and adults reach their full potential. For more information, please call (802) 878-2332 or visit http://www.sterncenter.org.
