  • Certificate Frames for PBSIS

    Funded Sep 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for these frames for our student's certificates from PBSIS. We are so grateful for your support and for helping to create a positive mental health support system.

    These students have earned a hot chocolate and cookie party during the Marking Period 2 event. They are always pillars in our community and they are helping to create a better school environment.

    We are so grateful for your support of PBSIS. Our pillars are Respect, Responsibility, Acceptance, and Success. These certificates allow them to show their success to their peers, family, and loved ones.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Decter

  • Formative Assessments for Remote Learning

    Funded Jan 1, 2021

    I am so very grateful for your contributions to allow me to use the Formative platform to assess students remotely during this challenging school year. This program has made it very easy for me to create various types of assessments, and more importantly, give my students multiple options by which to answer. This program allowed me the opportunity to monitor student progress as they were taking an assessment, and provide feedback to them directly as necessary. I hope that in turn, students benefited from the feedback to prepare for future assessments given.

    I do hope that students appreciated having this opportunity and not having to worry about submitting work on paper or how they would get that information to me while taking an assessment.

    It is my hope that upon the conclusion of COVID-19 safety protocols for the classroom, I would present the use of Formative to school administrators in the hopes that they would consider allowing it to be used if students are unable to return to the physical classroom, such as due to lingering COVID concerns, or inclement weather that would normally result in a snow day.

    Thank you again for your kindness and generosity!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Decter

  • Ladies Rock the AP Biology Exam

    Funded Sep 19, 2020

    With your gracious contributions, my students now have access to new study materials to prepare better for the upcoming AP Biology exam this May. Even though we will most likely still be remote learning at that time, this is one more tool they have been provided to maximize their success and prepare to earn a three, four, or a five to earn college credit toward Biology as they pursue their interests in college. I look forward to reviewing with them using this study guide to help them sharpen their skills and do the best they possibly can in this advanced course. My thanks and gratitude again for your graciousness and contributing to their enhanced education!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Decter

    This classroom project was brought to life by IF/THEN, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies and 5 other donors.
There are a lot of highly motivated young ladies who take the AP Biology exam. Statistically, more than 50% of the students identify as female who take AP Bio. And many amazing women, some of whom are featured in the If/Then Collection, were Biology majors in college, such as Jess Cramp - a shark researcher, Danielle Twum - a field applications scientist, and Earyn McGee - an environmental biology scholar. By taking AP Biology in high school, our young ladies will earn college credit for their first year Biology course. The exam is graded on a scale of 1 to 5 and most colleges accept a score of 3 or better. This project is for practice test books for each of our young scholars taking AP Biology this year, whether virtually or in-person. Because of the Coronavirus, our students are being given the choice of learning face-to-face or virtually. Parents are choosing one track or the other for the school year. This adds additional complexity to this already difficult course, but with your help, the students will be more successful using these AP Biology prep books.
