  • Sharp Minds Need Sharp Pencils

    Funded Apr 12, 2012

    Thank you for your generous support. I am so excited to have new pencil sharpeners in our classroom. They will improve learning in our classroom today and in the future.

    Pencil sharpeners that are quiet, fast, and work well have a positive impact on our learning environment every day. Even in this age of technology, pencils continue to be an important tool for everyday learning. Students use them to figure things out, to calculate, to write down ideas, and record answers. Being able to sharpen them quickly and quietly helps keep students focused on learning.

    Thank you again for supporting learning in our school. Your support of our wonderful learning community helps enrich the lives of our students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ferrero

  • Creating Real World Connections

    Funded Mar 27, 2012

    Thank you so much for your support of this project. The impact of this project will last long beyond this school year.

    A big part of reading is getting students motivated to want to read to learn. By getting this subscription, we now have interesting articles about current events. Students learn about the world around them and after reading the articles, they often want to read and learn more about the world.

    As with many schools, we are faced with shrinking budgets. Without your generosity our students would not have access to this important reading resource.

    Thank you again. You have made a difference.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ferrero

Our school is a wonderful place filled with bright students. As with many children, they do not have many opportunities to learn about current events with age appropriate material on their reading level. Approximately 75% of our students are eligible for free or reduced priced meals. Although they may lack the advantages of peers from more affluent settings, they do not lack for energy and enthusiasm! Our school is a small neighborhood school in an urban setting.
