Why Fundraise For These 3 Programs?
Para-Educators (Teachers Assistants) Program:
Help teachers give students who are having challenges in reading and math more individual attention. They also support students who need extensions to their learning. Their role extends to testing students’, providing instructional materials, assisting with class projects to helping teachers lead focused learning groups. Parents feel that their students would not have the enriched classroom without the Para-Educators. Our teachers feel they are the glue to their classroom.
Student Enrichment Program:
Offers students centered instruction, such as project based learning, reading enrichment, a “Maker’s Space” in our library for students to create and design science projects, purchasing more student devices for online programs, a Behavior Support Program, Child Abuse Prevention Seminar, 5th Grade Outdoor Education and the 2nd Grade Catamounts Learning Theatre.
Teacher Professional Development:
Includes purchasing development books, funding substitute teachers that allow our teachers to attend professional development classes along in providing classroom supplies.
