On May 14, 2009, representatives from  Oak Ridge Associated Universities—led by ORAU Interim President Homer Fisher—dropped in on Jenny Alvey’s 6th grade science class at Gresham Middle School to announce that Ms. Alvey was the first-ever winner of the $25,000 Extreme Classroom Makeover contest.

As the winner, Ms. Alvey will be sharing how she spends the windfall on technology and training to bring her classroom into the 21st century through a blog on this site. Follow along as she picks the equipment and oversees the upgrades to the classroom and begins teaching in the new room during the 2009-10 school year.
