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'.
2024年8月6日，安特吉核电团队的所有成员都到他们所收养的学校北杰克逊小学，参加杰克逊公立学区的年度“美化日”活动，进行油漆、花园种植和清洗工作。
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.
除了深度清理人行道、种植花卉和进行常规清理，志愿者还捐赠并分发了超过8000美元的学校用品，并向学校领导赠送了20,000美元的赠款。
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.
这笔钱将为1-5年级的每个教室提供8个虚拟现实耳机和充电盒。在教育领域使用VR的一个关键好处是它提供的沉浸式学习体验。
"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."
“我们非常兴奋地将VR学习带给我们的学者，”校长乔斯林·史密斯说。“虚拟现实使2D物体栩栩如生，让可视化成为现实，使用户可以反复体验真实场景或虚构体验。通过辅导和将VR整合到我们教师的日常课程中，我们预计VR将帮助我们的学者在州级测试以及地区基准考试中保持或提高熟练程度。”
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.
安特吉核电在2022年将北杰克逊小学作为新的“收养学校”伙伴。该学校距离公司总部约5英里，是北杰克逊地区最大的小学，为幼儿园到五年级的约430名学生提供服务。
"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."
“强大的社区为居住在那里的人们提供更好的生活质量，因此向我们的员工和客户居住和工作的社区回馈非常重要，”安特吉首席核主管金伯利·库克-纳尔逊说。“我们与北杰克逊小学的合作牢固，并为我们提供了机会，让我们的员工在一年中的许多时候以多种方式进行志愿服务，从返校用品捐赠，到科学展评委，再到阅读、辅导等等。”
This was the third consecutive year Entergy team members have participated in the district's annual event.
这是安特吉团队成员连续第三年参加该地区年度活动。
