Adding stairs on the hill at the side of the school for walking families will cut down on the muddy slip-n-slide. When it’s rainy, the hill often becomes a big muddy mess. If you’ve ever walked to school by way of the sidewalk on Greenland, you’ve probably seen and walked up the steep hill. We have several things we would like to improve on the school grounds: We are proud that we can consistently provide these resources to the grade-level teams to support the students and families at Dan Mills. This year, we will also be purchasing LiveSchool which is a tool for both students and parents. It doesn’t sound fancy or that exciting, but it’s a resource we’ve provided for years that the teachers have come to rely on because the expense of these supporting curriculum can be prohibitive. This includes online platforms like IXL and Study Island, as well as Accelerated Math and Reading A-to-Z. Whatever they choose, it ultimately benefits all of the students at Dan Mills!Ĭurriculum (~$10,000) – Each year the PTO pays for all kinds of resources that support the teachers’ curriculum. They can purchase those items that will make a lesson come to life or they can buy that bookshelf and fill it with books. So we can help them by providing each one of them with the funds and resources they need to help their students. It’s also no secret that teachers are underpaid. The goal is to create a dedicated space in the room for the work area and another dedicated space for the teachers to enjoy during their lunch breaks.įinancial Support for Teachers (~$10,000) - As you likely know, teachers spend a lot of their own money on special classroom projects or on classroom supplies. Additional organizational furniture needs to be purchased for the workspace. After years of heavy use, the lounge furniture is in need of replacement. Teacher Workroom and Lounge Update (~$5,000-8,000): Due to the number of amazing students at Dan Mills and in preparation for adding 5th grade next year, the teachers lounge and teacher workroom have been consolidated. So below are some more details to give you a better understanding of where the money we raise this year will be going. Well, it varies year to year, but we want you to know that the PTO Board and school administration thoughtfully discuss all the needs (and wants) of the school at the beginning of each year. You all may be wondering what exactly all the money we raise goes towards and why. Our fundraising goal for the Dragon Dash this year is $30,000.
