What have done already with the funds raised in 2023/24?

1. We purchased 3 dozen calculators for each of the 6 middle schools and our ALC for students that can't afford them.

2. Every middle and high school nurses office received 3 dozen sets of toothbrushes & toothpaste, along with 3 dozen granola bars to hand out to students in need.

3. We have established five $400 college scholarships for any graduate going into education at each of the five district high schools.

4. We have given all secondary math teachers granola bars and "anxiety" rings to share with students that may need them. Many times our teachers use their own money to purchase these items.

5. We have established some professional development programs for our teachers.

6. We have offered to support any middle school teacher who is willing to start a math peer tutoring program.

7. Gave "Thank you" Gifts to our adult volunteers that come in and work with our students

What are my top 5 priorities?

1. Start up tutoring programs at each of the middle schools where students can get help after school for math by teachers and by other students.

2. Purchase small class sets of calculators for our middle and high school math teachers. These calculators can be checked out by students who can't afford to purchase one.

3. Set up college scholarships at each of the 5 high schools for any graduating senior going into education.

4. Create an incentive program for our teachers to take time to observe their peers or film themselves in class and analyze it.  Research has shown this to be one of the best ways for teachers to improve in their craft.

5.  Create a mentor program matching an experienced teacher with our new math teachers at each of the schools.
