 What’s Cool in Schools
Manatee Elementary
Manatee Elementary’s latest accomplishment is one for the books. Viera’s Manatee and Quest elementary schools compete each year to collect the most student summer reading logs. Manatee Elementary students turned in an impressive 394 reading logs. The team from Manatee Elementary celebrated their victory by drenching their competition in nacho cheese.
Viera High’s Siddarth Ranganath is a passionate problem solver and supportive classmate.
Viera High
Siddarth “Sid” Ranganath, a junior at Viera High, launched a school supply drive, tutors classmates, and created and hosts a tutoring website for students. Ranganath raised $1,500 and collected boxes of supplies to present to The Supply Zone, a service of Brevard Schools Foundation which puts school supplies directly into the hands of children in need. He also meets with peers at a local library to offer “Math with Sid,” tutoring sessions for peers struggling with classes. During these sessions, Ranganath realized lack of transportation prevented some students from attending these gatherings. In response, he created “STEMHelps.org,” a free tutoring website with videos and content taught by Ranganath.

James Madison Middle
Through a generous grant to the Brevard Schools Foundation from The Boeing Company, Madison Middle in Titusville became home to the first Boeing FUSE Studio. This interactive learning lab is designed to introduce students to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). Students can take on a variety of hands-on challenges or even create their own experiences. Northwestern University also helped the school with start-up costs and presented students with unique
FUSE challenges. In addition, Great Minds in STEM Viva Technology hosted a day of interactive STEM activities.
