While Bassett PTA supports numerous activities and programs throughout the school year, we also fund Staff Grants. Staff Grants are meant to enhance and enrich the special projects and IB units that our students participate in every year as well as provide needed equipment to the classrooms.
During the 2017-18 school year,
we have supported the following:
|
Kindergarten:
|
iPad covers for the ten iPads purchased last year
Classroom set of headphones for each of the three Kindergarten classrooms.
|
|
1st Grade:
|
Document cameras for each classroom to enable students to better share their work and ideas.
|
|
2nd Grade:
|
A visit from an actress portraying Eleanor Roosevelt to kick off their biography unit.
Classroom sets of chair pocket organizers for all three classrooms.
Iditarod enrichment books and programs.
|
| 3rd Grade: |
Math enrichment lessons, games, and activities.
|
| School-Wide |
New lunch cart bins and dollies for each classroom.
Document Camera and chair pockets for Mrs. Kowalski's classroom
|
Chromebooks
In addition to the Staff Grants and IB Support, in March, Bassett PTA purchased 16 additional Chromebooks. The teachers and students were thrilled for their arrival this past month!
Thank you for your support!
Finally, we would like to say THANK YOU to all Bassett families who supported Bassett fundraisers throughout this past school year. Without your fundraising help, we would not have been able to fund these enriching items and programs that are appreciated greatly by our Bassett students and staff.
