• Study Tools to Dig Our Way Out of 2020 Valley

  Funded May 17, 2021

  Thank you so much for giving to this project! The overall benefit is difficult to measure, but it was far reaching. This project helped get us through one of the hardest times and school years. We needed more supports for students at this time and were so thankful to have access to these technology resources which were not available to us otherwise. The reading supports in the absence of physical books, the audiobooks and research tools we were given access to for all subjects: science, social studies, ELA, and many others. The online live tutoring option alone enabled students who were struggling and home alone as parents worked or didn't have the help they needed at home were able to gain some ground in closing the gap in achievement, despite overall deficits as a result of in person learning.”

• If Books Were Colors, Graphic Novels Are the New Black!

  Funded Jul 6, 2023

  Thank you for your generosity towards our students! We are currently enjoying these books in small groups for book clubs throughout classrooms across our school. Students enjoy Reading Wednesdays where they have built in time for reading and they get to create their own discussion questions and share what they think of the books with their small groups. Our book club has read several of these titles as a whole group and created posters, book talks and school flyers to share out what they liked/disliked/loved/hated about the books. It has been an incredibly enriching experience. It never would have happened with these books if it weren't for you!”

  To our incredibly generous and unexpected benefactor Ms. Barbara Berndt: Saying “Thank you” isn’t enough, nor does it fully capture our gratitude for what you have done to help us. The gift of these resources will affect not just this group of students and educators who are about to receive them, but the ripple effects of your generosity will continue to grow and expand throughout our community. The legacy of generous acts such as this one cannot be fully measured. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my students and school community. Blessings to you and yours!”
