Big smiles and big ideas are headed to Lone Star Early Childhood Center students! Thanks to a $2,500 grant from the Horace Mann Educators Foundation, presented by Randy Moczygemba, NBISD Pre-K learners now can explore, create, and collaborate through LEGO® Education tools.

“These LEGO® Education tools are more than just bricks. They help our children imagine, create, and work together,” said Robert Strever, Principal of Lone Star Early Childhood Center.

These experiences bring learning to life while supporting NBISD’s Pillar Goal 2.2 to increase options for future-ready learning experiences. Read more about the NBISD’s five-year strategic plan: Future Focused 2030.

The Horace Mann Educators Foundation, established by Horace Mann Educators Corporation, is dedicated to recognizing and supporting the work of educators. The foundation provides resources for schools and districts to address real challenges, while also giving back to the communities where Horace Mann employees live and serve.

Moczygemba nominated Lone Star Early Childhood Center for the grant last Fall and was on campus for a check presentation on September 30th.

Strever added, “Thanks to Horace Mann, our Pre-K students will explore coding, storytelling, and real-world building through LEGO® Education. These playful experiences bring learning to life!”
