  • Tools for the 21st Century

    Funded Apr 2, 2015

    As I sit here today and write you all this message, I am so thankful to each and every one of you who made it possible for me to receive a brand new laptop computer. This tool is already assisting me in my professional development. Believe it or not, this technology will allow me to incorporate technology in my school planning, teacher meetings, and incorporate applications to support my teaching.

    It is due to your gracious donations that I can build my career and my future. Thank you for making this dream come true!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Sax

  • Kindergartners Are Ready!

    Funded Mar 4, 2015

    This project has had a tremendous impact on my ability to access professional development apps and programs that are available only through the IPAD. It has been useful with my trainings and university programs in so many ways.

    First off, I am able to tap into my classes at any time to put my training to the test. I can also access the new Common Core State Standards with just a touch. In addition, keeping up-to-date with the latest training apps such as Socrates, Edmondo, and ClassDojo take my training to the next level as I am able to bring it back to the classroom.

    Donor's Choose made this a possibility and with donors like you a dream come true. Thank you so much for your donations and your trust in teachers. I am forever grateful to you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Sax

Our school is located in a very diverse community of English language learners from all over the world. We are home to many nationalities including India, Mexico, and Iran among others. We are a small school with about 460 students and pride ourselves with earning several awards including the California Distinguished School and an SAS Gifted School. However, although we have made much progress in our little community, we are forever in need of the latest technology because we lack the funds. Our school recently gained charter status due to the inconsistencies with our district funding. Without our charter, we could not offer the dynamic curriculum we currently offer. Moving into the next school year, we are fearful that charter funds may be cut and that would mean our school would loose even more. However, we remain hopeful that with the budget in tact we can continue to give our students the excellent instruction that they deserve without cutting into our curriculum.
