KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
In a heartwarming tribute to a beloved Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader, Shanell Terry, a dedicated STEM teacher at Central Middle School, has been awarded a $2,000 classroom grant. This grant honors the legacy of Krystal Anderson, whose passion for education and STEM continues to inspire.
The grant is a collaborative effort between the Hunt Family Foundation and the Kansas City Public Schools Education Foundation. It reflects a shared commitment to advancing STEM education, a cause Krystal Anderson championed during her lifetime.
Half of the funding is provided by the Hunt Family Foundation, honoring Krystal Anderson, who passed away in March 2024. Her husband, Clayton Anderson, shared insights into her belief in the transformative power of STEM.
“STEM has an incredible opportunity to not only change the world, but change your individual life,” Clayton Anderson expressed, emphasizing Krystal’s embodiment of that belief.
This grant not only supports Shanell Terry’s efforts in the classroom but also continues Krystal Anderson’s legacy, inspiring future generations to explore the possibilities within science, technology, engineering, and math.
