Dr. Patrick Spray, Superintendent of Clark-Pleasant Community Schools states:
“I am so pleased that the foundation could continue to support the area of STEM education and allow us to expand opportunities for our students to further develop creativity and become collaborative problem solvers.”
We are so thankful to Endress+Hauser and our Community Donors for their wonderful support of the Foundation and Clark-Pleasant Community Schools. “We are pleased that we have the opportunity to team up with the school corporation and provide this STEM Grant,” says, Trisha Smith, Executive Director for Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation. 
In a joint statement from the CPCSC Elementary Principals, “Receiving the financial support of the Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation and Endress+Hauser will allow our elementary schools to build on our current STEM education through the addition of Robotics Clubs.  We value the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in our ever-changing world.  The ability to be involved in hands-on STEM activities will also strengthen leadership skills, creativity, communication, and collaboration.  Robotics Clubs will foster and inspire CPCSC students to be the problem-solvers of tomorrow.”
