Charleroi Area Elementary Center’s parent-teacher association will be receiving help from Google to provide a digital education workshop for area families. 

Last week, the PTA announced it had been awarded a $1,000 grant from the national PTA and Google.

The CAEC branch is among 200 local PTAs nationwide selected to receive PTA Connected Be Internet Awesome grants. In addition to the funds, all grantees will receive a Be Internet Awesome kit to help PTA leaders host a successful workshop.

The grant will be used to host a “Be Internet Awesome Family Workshop” April 8 at the elementary center.
