As you know, we are trying to hit a giving level of $150,000 by June 30 in order to support our new SMARTLABS, due to open in the fall.

 

This week, we were presented with a grant check from Pacific Life Foundation to support our SMARTLABS! Two of our families who work for Pacific Life helped make that happen. Perhaps your company has a grants or charitable giving program that support STEM education or the Arts? We would love to hear about it if they do!

 

Additionally, many families who work for matching gift companies, double and sometimes triple their donation by participating in their company's matching gift or community giving program. Perhaps you work for a matching gift company and don't even know it - look HERE  to find out. We would be glad to  answer any questions you have to help you maximize your giving.    

 

Matching gift opportunity or not, if you haven't given to the 2017-2018 Annual Fund yet, please DONATE  now. We are so grateful for every gift and would love to increase our parent participation to help us reach the 85% participation by our teachers and staff. To do that, we need EVERY family's help.

 

Imagine if every family gave what they could; we would be well on our way for the SMARTLABS to be fully funded.

A parent information meetin g is scheduled for Thursday, May 3, at 8:15 a.m. in the ELS lab (PEB room, 226). ELS is a computerized, multi-sensory, interactive program that improves focus, strengthens information proce ssing skills, and enhances a variety of academic skills (e.g., reading decoding, reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary development, and spelling). If your child is struggling with reading skills, lacks confidence in academics skills, has difficulty understanding or remembering  information, takes a long time to complete schoolwork or homework, has limited independent learning skills, and/or benefits from additional academic support, ELS may help. ELS provides a fun environment where students strengthen their skills in a game-like format and earn points and prizes for their efforts. 

There are two after-school sessions available:  1:50-2:35 p.m. (for students in grades K through 2) and  2:50-3:40 p.m. (for students in grades 3 through 8). Students attend ELS up to four days per week ( Monday through  Thursday) for a minimum of one academic year. Please e-mail Dr. Lori Quigley, at  [email protected] if you would like more  information or to attend this informational  meeting.

There are no fees, no flyers and no cost to you. It's as  EASY AS 1...2...3 .
