Winslow Township Middle School and Environmental STEM teacher Ross Cruz won a $15,000 grand prize in the Bernzomatic Find Your Fire Community Grants Program. The winnings will go toward a new maker space, a garden for the school’s STEM programs and a visit from HGTV’s Nicole Curtis.

The Find Your Fire Community Grants program encouraged makers, inventors, tinkerers, creators and artists from across the country to tell Bernzomatic about a maker project that would benefit their community and involve the use of a handheld torch in some way.

“Winslow Township Middle School’s plan to build a creative workspace for students will have a huge community impact, and I can’t wait to help them dig in during an upcoming visit,” said Curtis.

Cruz, a Marlton resident, was named a 2016 Eagles/Axalta All-Pro Teacher in December, and within the past year, he has received numerous additional grants and awards for his work for the Winslow Township Middle School Environmental STEM program.
