Living in a Material World grants for classrooms available

Bring the real world of materials science into your classroom.  Metals, glasses, ceramics, semiconductors, polymers are the material choices at the heart of all new systems.

Students, however, often hear of materials science too late for career planning.  That's why the ASM Foundation is committed to working with and supporting teachers through  "Living in a Material World" K-12 teacher grants.  The ASM Materials Eduction Foundation sponsors 10 annual grants for teachers.  Each grant has a value of $500.

Qualified educators are called upon to submit a two-page proposal describing a curriculum based hands-on project, involving students' observations, communications, and mathematics and science skills that will enhance their awareness of the materials around them.  To learn more about these grants, please visit the ASM International website at www.asminternational.org and search for ASM K12 Te

Cody Pearcy is the first Huntingdon football player to sign with NFL

Cody Pearcy didn’t become the first Huntingdon football player picked in the NFL Draft on Saturday. But he did become the first Hawk to sign with an NFL team.

Within minutes after the completion of the draft, Pearcy’s phone began ringing and free-agent offers began coming in. After considering his choices and talking it over with his family and agent, Pearcy signed a priority free-agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons.

Pearcy is the first Huntingdon football player to sign with a NFL team.

“I’m just truly thankful and blessed,” Pearcy said by phone from his home Saturday night. “I’m still trying to take it all in. I’m trying to let it sink in that I just signed a contract with a NFL team.”

Pearcy will report to the Falcons’ rookie mini-camp in May. According to the Falcons’ website, rookie mini-camp will be May 11-13.

“I’m excited for myself and for Huntingdon,” Pearcy said.
