GoFundMe: Thank You for the Lab Tables!

I want to once again, thank you for your generous donation to the students of the Curley K-8th School. Your donation impacted all of our middle school science classrooms (Ms. Stoke’s and Ms. Rodriquez’s class) and one elementary science class (Ms. Griffith).

It has provided students with new lab tables in which both students and teachers do not have to worry about broken glassware and spilled chemicals. The triple beam balances and digital scales has been fantastic for our mass lab where student lean how to accurately measure mass and weight. This is one of the first steps of conducting an accurate experiment as measurement is one of the most crucial piece of conducting any experiment.

As you can see in our pictures, your donation goes to giving us fun hands on experiments. When looking at the pictures, don’t just look at the supplies but look at the expression on our students’ faces-filled with excitement, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn. It has brought pride, color, and life into our classroom.

Thank you again for your generosity.
Ms. Wessen, Ms. Stokes, Ms. Rodriquez, and Ms. Griffith

Also, We wanted to personally invite parents to hear about the results of the WITS Needs Assessment. In Nov, the team came out and conducted interviews, toured the facility, and talked to district personnel to see what our strengths are as a school and what we needed to change. The results are in and we wanted to invite you guys to come here about it. They will present and ask that the school and the community decide on 3 areas of priorities that we would want to change for 2016-17.

WIT-Curley Partnership

Wellness in the Schools (WITs) is a national non-profit that inspires healthy eating, environmental awareness, and fitness as a way of life for kids in public schools. Through meaningful public-private partnerships, they work with schools to provide healthy, scratch-cooked meals, active recess periods, and fitness and nutrition education. Their partnership approach drives systemic, long-term change, shifting the entire culture of schools. In November, WITs completed a Needs Assessment of the Curley by touring the facility and interviewing students, staff, and district personnel. The Needs Assessment is used to determine the strengths and needs of our school. WITs have compiled the results of the Needs Assessment and would like to present this report to the community on Tuesday, Nov. 29 (3-5 pm). In order to facilitate school improvement, WITs would like for the Curley community to vote on the top three areas of change based on the report. Please join us to learn more about the outcome of the Needs Assessment and to vote on priority items. Babysitting will be available.
