  • Improve Academic Achievement and Parent Engagement through PowerMyLearning

    Funded Jan 27, 2020

    I anticipate great strides of improvement for my students will this program. I love that it holds all immediate stakeholders accountable. It is my experience that when parents are involved in a child’s academic life, the child puts more effort into the quality of work they produce. Moreover, when a person can teach a topic that they have learned, they not only demonstrate mastery, but they also further reinforce their understanding.

    Your contribution stands as another sources of moral support to let my children know that they are cared about. I am sure they will feel the love and encouragement. Thanks again for believing in us!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Brown

    This classroom project was brought to life by Morgridge Family Foundation and 3 other donors.

  • Developing a Global Mindset

    Funded Jan 20, 2019

    We have had the opportunity to delve into some activities surrounding "I Can Do Hard Things." We have also been using "A Long Walk to Water" to make connection with social, economic, and religious structures in different the parts of the world.

    Our class started with "I Can Do Hard Things". As a result of our explorations, we identified, and have been practicing positive affirmations to ourselves and to our peers. My children have been made aware that they have the power to control their own emotions, despite the circumstances in their environment. Everyone came up with strategies, as well as their own affirmation statements that encourage mindfulness.

    "A Long Walk to Water" has provided my children with a deeper understanding of American values.

    The greatest impact of these books as of now, is the fact that they have broaden the scope of my students' thinking. They are making inferences, considering and asking questions inspired by the content of these materials. I am confident that we are on our way toward a global mindset! Thanks again.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Brown
