Dear Scholars and Families,
Congratulations to all our young scholars who finished out the semester. So many showed exceptional work ethic, discipline, integrity, and creativity as we closed out the first half of the 2014-2015 school year.
Over break, please make sure you read a book (or books!) of your choice.
With the tax year coming to a close, we offer two more opportunities for families who would like to contribute to our STEMM program through two Donors Choose grants.
One is for computers to be used both for the third-year Engineering elective, as well for special projects across the disciplines: http://www.donorschoose.org/project/our-computer-scientists-technical-writ/1441180/?rf=link-siteshare-2014-12-teacher_account-teacher_245243&challengeid=61610 .
The other is to continue to build our classroom library through Literature Circle books so that students can enjoy a "book club" experience as they support and encourage one another in reading: http://www.donorschoose.org/project/gripping-books-make-for-compelling-liter/1441799/?rf=link-siteshare-2014-12-teacher_account-teacher_245243&challengeid=61610 .
Thank you for supporting the growth of our exciting young program, whether through financial contributions or simply enthusiastic engagement and hard work.
Here's to the art of public education!
With Gratitude,
Ms. Witham
