  • Homebound Student Supports

    Funded Sep 24, 2023

    On behalf of each and every student and family who has had the opportunity to utilize one or more of the specialized materials that you donated, thank you. Your support has impacted the learning environment, fostering engagement among both children and adults. The inclusion of educational games has transformed the educational landscape, making learning an enjoyable experience for students of all ages and ability levels. The academic games, in particular, have not only enhanced cognitive skills but also instilled a sense of curiosity and excitement for learning.

    The differentiated reading materials have allowed me to cater to diverse learning needs, ensuring that every individual receives an education tailored to their unique abilities. The technology contributions (printer & paper) has allowed me to facilitate quick access to new materials, and has supported our teaching methods and kept our educational approach specialized for each student. Your commitment to enhancing the learning experience will leave a lasting impact on the academic, medical, and social/emotional journeys of countless students and contribute to building a brighter future. Once again, thank you for your support and belief in the power of education.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wrege

  • Outdoor Education Excursion

    Funded Dec 23, 2017

    We are heading out this morning for our two night camping trip. We spend last week Friday team-building with our kids. We were very strategic in developing the groups our kids are in and we pulled them out of their friend groups. They were hesitant and even a little resistant at first, but by the end of the day they had ALREADY started forming new relationships! This is one of my goals as an educator...helping my kids develop skills that will allow them to become inclusive, outgoing, passionate humans. This will be the first time many of our students will be making a trip outside of Thornton!

    As we were discussing hopes, expectations, and worries about the trip, many of them noted that they were nervous to be without their phones for almost three days. This, however, was followed by awesome conversations about the desire to at least give it a try. They are ready to try unplugging and being a part of the world around them, which is VERY, VERY exciting. We can't wait to see the full opportunities and changes this trip will bring about for our students.

    Your donations have truly opened up doors for our kids and we are beyond grateful for your generosity. We are looking forward to sharing our pictures with you when we return! Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wrege

Our project was fully funded last year and our students can't stop talking about it! We are continuing to see a significant increase in student attendance and engagement in the students who were able to attend this program last year. We want to keep the momentum going and reach even more students this year! Colorado offers many options/activities for outdoor experiences and our students do not get to engage in these activities regularly, if at all. Our goal is to increase student engagement in an academic setting by providing a customized, interactive and experiential opportunity that is specifically tailored to our natural landscape in Colorado. A trip to Cal-Wood Education Center will also allow students to be active, connect with peers and staff, and further their knowledge of the world around them. On this overnight trip, students will increase their capacity to work as a team and will learn that they can trust peers and adults. Our students often struggle with trusting others as they have had many negative experiences with adults and their peers. They will gain a skill set that will aid them in learning to elicit help from others when they need it. Many of our students have never had the chance to truly experience the Colorado wilderness. We have seen the positive results of interactive, outdoor experiences. These experiences are vital in helping our students develop meaningful connections with peers and staff.
