Parents! This year’s main fundraiser is the
Mustang Fun-Run
!
It’s a 9-day program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on
October 18
. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on
October 27
.
This year, we are raising funds to provide Apple TV’s for all our classrooms, support the PTA sponsored school programs throughout the year and help the new elementary school and 6th grade center begin next year with some funding for programs for their students.
Now that all students are going to be given iPads in the district, Apple TV's will allow teachers additional resource options for the iPads.
“Apple TV users in the classroom enjoy moving about the classroom while actively controlling the presentation from their iPad. No longer are teachers trapped at the front of the classroom in order to share content with students or markup documents. Presenting directly from the iPad allows for circulation around the classroom and increased interaction with students.
Learners can also benefit directly from the installation of an Apple TV in the classroom. Teachers can request students share their work remotely through the Apple TV. With no cords to connect and disconnect, switching images requires nothing more than the user selecting the listed Apple TV from the airplay options on the iPad.
Like the teacher, student iPads are capable of presenting from anywhere in the room. This allows groups to report to the rest of the class, individuals to present from their seats, or the teacher selecting student work to share with others in the classroom.” From Teachthought.com
Keep your eyes out for the pledgebooks to come home Wednesday night!! We appreciate your support!
