  • Help Us Build A World Of Pure Imagination (Part II)

    Funded Mar 15, 2019

    Thanks so much for your generous donation! Because of you, our production of Willy Wonka Jr. next week is sure to be a huge success!

    Our students are applied their technology, engineering and math knowledge while developing leadership skills as they designed and built the weird and wonderful Wonka Chocolate Factory.

    You gave them an opportunity for real world applications of the Engineering Design Process and an outlet for creative expression! We can't wait to share all of our hard work next week.”

    Thank you so very much for your generous support of my brilliant mathematicians! My 4th graders were absolutely thrilled to receive the giant boxes of delicious and healthy snacks! We now have plenty of food to share with everyone, which makes our work during after school and Saturday Academy so much smoother and more fun!

    We recently completed a unit on division- my students showed incredible determination and perseverance.

  • Voracious Readers Crave Books! (part two)

    Funded Jan 17, 2014

    To quote one of Class 202's favorite books, Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, by Kevin Henkes: "Wow! That is just about all I can say- WOW!". My kids and I are so thankful for your generous support! It means so much to know that you believe in my kids' ability to succeed as strongly as I do.

    This amazing gift comes at an exciting time for Class 301. We just finished our second round of reading assessments and am happy to report that every student has grown at least one reading level in the last 6 weeks! Many students have grown 2 or even 3 reading levels! These wonderful new books will help my kids grow even more as readers and thinkers. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
