Thank you so much for checking out my project! I am the school social worker for the amazing, Villa Heights Elementary. The goal of this project is to receive items that will be used as student incentives. This has been an unprecedented school year. Not only did our students and their families have to persevere through COVID-19, but we charged them with refocusing their efforts on their learning. This was easy for some, but very hard for others. What we know is that our students are resilient! However, attending this school year amid a pandemic has negatively impacted our students. Students struggled to attend school, and when here, struggled more to learn. Their social, emotional, and academic welfare has been adversely impacted by all they have observed or witnessed firsthand. The items I am requesting for donation are computers, tablets, cameras, musical instruments, and scooters! The items requested will not only act as an incentive or reward, to encourage student motivation and engagement in learning and creativity, they also promote Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math (STEAM) along with physical activity. These items will allow learning to expand beyond the classroom and may create unexpected sparks of interest in STEAM education and other career paths. Furthermore, these items will impact the digital divide in education, closing the gap between those students with access to technology and opportunities for outdoor physical activity. I would like to raffle 2 items each month, one for a k-2 student and one for a 3-5 student, that has displayed great attendance and what it means to be a “Viking”. Students and families will be reminded of this incentive via the morning announcements, classroom newsletters, and connect ed communication to parents. Please partner with us as we try to make 21-22 the most memorable school year!
