Wedgwood, Laurelhurst teachers selected to attend summer Teachers Academy
Ashley Cox from Wedgwood Elementary, and Grace Dublin from Laurelhurst Elementary, have been selected to attend the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy in New Jersey during the summer. Cox and Dublin will join about 200 third- through fifth-grade teachers from across the country, including three other teachers from Washington state.
The Teachers Academy – started by pro golfer Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy – is a free, weeklong camp just for teachers in which they learn about math and science through fun experiments. They will share their experiences with students in the classroom when they return. The teachers will be joined by math and science experts from the National Science Teachers Association and Math Solutions, who teach at the Academy.
