The 2011 Oak Grove Foundation
Annual Campaign
|
Dear Oak Grove Families,
I am so thankful for the ongoing support of the Oak Grove Foundation and its role in the educational processes at Oak Grove Elementary School. The Foundation is entering its third year as an organization and sponsored the development of a strategic plan for our school. We have just completed a rich and engaging process that set forth outcomes for the students who attend our school and the strategies that we will take to work towards those outcomes. The Foundation has supported our work in the past by providing funding for classroom level projects that encourage critical thinking, hands-on experiences, and rigorous learning. In addition, it has supported and sponsored professional learning for teachers. This year, the Foundation has agreed to fund a part-time staff member to serve as an Instructional Technology Coach in order to help teachers innovatively integrate technology into the classroom in an effort to more fully engage students and provide access to wide varieties of information, research, and experiences. Katy Miller began her work in this role today, November 29, 2011.
As part of the strategic planning process, we were able to answer the question, "What is Oak Grove known for?" Given our culture of successful students, supportive parents, and quality teachers combined with the clear vision set forth in our strategic plan, we have branded ourselves as:
Oak Grove: Learning Without Limits
As we near the end of the 2011 capital campaign, I come to you asking for your financial support as we seek to live out this idea that we can unleash the unlimited potential of each and every child at Oak Grove. Read the strategic plan and consider a monetary gift at an amount that will bring to fruition our vision that Oak Grove learners will be:
- Enriched
- Critical Thinkers
- Intellectual Risk Takers
- Students who Value Others
- Academically Prepared for the Next Step
Remember that 50% participation per homeroom will award the teacher with $100 to spend on items for the class while 100% participation per homeroom will award the teacher $250.
Thank you for your unprecedented and ongoing support!
Sincerely,
Laura S. Neely, Ph.D
Principal
Oak Grove Elementary
