Entergy Employees Give $20K Grant, $8K in School Supplies; Paint, Plant and Clean Adopted School
JACKSON, MS / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2024 / It was all hands on deck as Entergy Nuclear team members painted, planted and power washed at their adopted school, North Jackson Elementary, during Jackson Public School District's annual 'Beautification Day'.
密西西比州傑克遜/ACCESSWIRE/2024年8月6日/在傑克遜公立學區一年一度的 「美化日」 期間，Entergy Nuclear團隊成員在他們收養的學校北傑克遜小學進行繪畫、種植和洗電，一切都準備就緒。
In addition to deep-cleaning sidewalks, planting flowers and performing general clean-up, volunteers donated and distributed more than $8,000 in school supplies and presented school leaders with a $20,000 grant.
除了深度清潔人行道、種花和進行全面清理外，志願者還捐贈並分發了超過8,000美元的學校用品，並向學校領導提供了20,000美元的補助金。
The money will provide each classroom in grades 1-5 with eight Virtual Reality headsets and charging cases. A key benefit of using VR in education is the immersive learning experience it provides.
這筆錢將爲1-5年級的每個教室提供八個虛擬現實耳機和充電盒。在教育中使用虛擬現實的一個主要好處是它提供的身臨其境的學習體驗。
"We're very excited to bring VR learning to our scholars," said Principal Jocelyn Smith. "Virtual reality brings 2D objects to life and makes visualization a reality, enabling users to experience real scenarios or fabricated experiences over and over. Through tutoring and incorporating VR in our teachers' everyday lessons, we anticipate VR helping our scholars maintain or gain proficiency on our state test, as well as district benchmark assessments."
校長喬斯林·史密斯說：「我們很高興將虛擬現實學習帶給我們的學者。」「虛擬現實使二維對象變爲現實，使可視化成爲現實，使用戶能夠一遍又一遍地體驗真實的場景或虛構的體驗。通過輔導和將虛擬現實融入教師的日常課程，我們預計虛擬現實可以幫助我們的學者保持或提高我們的州考試以及地區基準評估的能力。」
Entergy Nuclear adopted North Jackson Elementary School as its new Adopt-A-School partner in 2022. The school is about five miles from the company's headquarters and is the largest elementary school in the north Jackson area. It serves approximately 430 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
Entergy Nuclear 於 2022 年採用了北傑克遜小學作爲其新的 Adopt-A-School 合作伙伴。這所學校距離公司總部約五英里，是北傑克遜地區最大的小學。它爲大約430名從幼兒園到五年級的學生提供服務。
"Strong communities provide a better quality of life for all who live there, so it's important to us to give back to the communities where our employees and customers live and work," said Kimberly Cook-Nelson, Entergy chief nuclear officer. "Our partnership with North Jackson Elementary is strong and provides us with opportunities for our people to volunteer in a number of ways throughout the year, from back-to-school supply drives, to judging science fairs, to reading, tutoring, and more."
Entergy首席核官金伯利·庫克-納爾遜表示：「強大的社區爲生活在那裏的所有人提供了更好的生活質量，因此，回饋員工和客戶生活和工作的社區對我們來說很重要。」「我們與北傑克遜小學的合作關係非常牢固，爲我們的員工提供了全年以多種方式進行志願服務的機會，從返校補給活動到評審科學博覽會，再到閱讀、輔導等等。」
This was the third consecutive year Entergy team members have participated in the district's annual event.
這是Entergy團隊成員連續第三年參加該地區的年度活動。
