Dear Foundation Friends,
Last week we held our first major fundraiser -- the Grown-Up Spelling Bee, and what an exciting event it was! As words got harder and harder, teams pulled out all the stops to stay in the game -- and raise more money for the foundation. A big congratulations to the top team, the "Modified Spellers" from the Pearland ISD Special Programs Department!
As we get ready for Thanksgiving, I just want to thank everyone who has contributed to our foundation's success. Whether you donate, volunteer or study some really tough spelling words, we couldn't do it without you. Thanks for doing your part!
Sincerely,
Jeff Barry
Board President |

Grant Spotlight: Lynette McManus Pearland High School librarian Lynette McManus used her foundation grant to start a library "Makerspace" -- a creative center where students learn through hands-on, do-it-yourself activities. Students use tools ranging from a camcorder and Raspberry Pi computer stations to a green screen and whiteboard to explore their personal interests and create whatever they imagine. The sky's the limit!
