Tools for College and Career Readiness!

Funded Oct 22, 2023

I am delighted to share the positive impact your generous contributions have had on our students and their learning experiences. The college readiness materials, including looseleaf, binders, multi-color pens, and pencil cases, have become invaluable tools in our everyday ELA class. Students have embraced these resources with enthusiasm, recognizing their significance in promoting organization and enhancing executive functioning skills.

One memorable moment occurred when students first laid eyes on the new materials. Their excitement was palpable as they realized the potential these tools had in transforming their note-taking and organization habits. One student joyfully exclaimed, "Look at how scholarly and neat my notes look! I was not thriving with the notebook filled with handouts sticking out." This immediate positive response has created a ripple effect, with students eagerly incorporating these resources into their daily routines.

Moving forward, our focus is on ensuring that the organizational skills fostered in our ELA class extend to other courses, providing a streamlined approach to executive functioning across the curriculum. We are developing strategies to help students apply the college readiness skills they have acquired to excel in their other subjects. Your support has not only provided tangible materials but has also ignited a sense of pride and responsibility among our students, encouraging them to take charge of their education. Thank you for being an essential part of our journey towards academic success.”

With gratitude,
