My Project

As we returned to school after a challenging year, I want to show our students the importance of coming to school each day. As many schools have, we have seen an incredible rise in chronic absenteeism as a result of the changing school environment, learning in a remote world, family health concerns and much more.

My goal is to start the upcoming school year 22/23 stressing the importance of arriving to school each day to provide all of our students with an opportunity to receive an equitable education.

I have many plans in mind to spread the word and our motto of "Scholarly Bears Show Their PAWS!" The support of a donor(s) will help us, help our students, families and the school community.

As the new school year begins in just a few months, we will start the year by stressing the importance of improved attendance as we are coming out of a year of uncertainties that impacted student attendance.

Your support will help provide incentives to many of our students and build strong communication between families as we help our school community understand the importance of regular attendance in the new school year.
