The CFP Foundation supports educators through resources, recognition, recruitment, and professional development. Through their generosity, Downtown Elementary Magnet Academy was gifted innovative, modern furniture designed to enhance both the look and functionality of the Lab and to further support student learning.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sites.muscogee.k12.ga.us\/downtown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2025\/12\/lab-3.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;lab&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindsey Bell, Engineering Teacher I am excited to innovate and explore with our scholars as we use science, technology, engineering, math, and arts to solve problems!
