Thank you Education Foundation! The document camera is wonderful. Things that I used to have to show by getting the students to "gather around," I can now show so that all students can have a perfect view point.
Thank you,

Dear Education Foundation,
   Thank you so much for the grant to purchase six microscopes and scales for our middle school science program.  I have placed the new items at the 6 different lab stations in my eighth grade classroom.  The students are really enjoying having these quality items to further their investigations.

To the Education Foundation - Thanks for funding the Solar Pathfinder during the Fall grant funding period.  We finally got it delivered and will hopefully be able to use it soon.  It should help students understand the potential of using solar power.

I'd like to say thanks for everything the foundation has done for the Industrial Tech department over the years.  In our department we use a lot of tools and equipment; the school can't always fund the extras that we need.  The foundation has always been very generous and this has allowed us to buy several items that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.  Last year the foundation bought an oscilloscope for the electricity class so students can see AC sine waves.  This is the type of equipment they might use if they go on to study electronics.  The foundation has also purchased hydrogen fuel cells so the Power Mech 1 class can better understand that futuristic technology.   The foundation bought a router table for the wood shop, which gives students more options and opportunities when working on their woodworking projects.  The foundation has helped the department update equipment and given students the opportunity to use newer, better, equipment; the same type of equipment they would use on the job site.  

Thanks to the Education Foundation for these and all the other items the department has received over the years.

"Most primary students are seated at tables, leaving limited storage for their materials.  A grant application was submitted to buy "seat sacks" such as the ones pictured.  Given a sample pattern, a member of the Education Foundation Board decided to try making "seat sacks".  Several first grade classrooms now have a place to store their books and supplies."


 

 

Without the help of our parent group, the support of the community and the generosity of the Education Foundation the 5th grade playground would not have been a possibility!
