Brandon Runge, Operations Manager of W.W. Grainger, Inc. in Bryan, was instrumental in securing a $5,000 grant with the Grainger Foundation. This money was used to purchase document cameras for the new Early Childhood Learning Center and also to purchase Osmo kits for the Krause Elementary Library. Osmos kits allow for creative thinking while teaching skills in math, spelling, and reading.
