Four science teachers in Marietta will receive $4,000 grants from the city school system

The winners -- Thomas Monti at Marietta Middle School, Julie Schunck at Marietta Sixth Grade Academy and Marietta High teachers Celis Hartley-Lewis and Stephanie Davis-Howard -- will be awarded at the Aug. 16 meeting of the city school board, which starts at 7 p.m.
