Our Programs Schools Campaign Teacher Grants Community Support

Our Programs
Palo Verde Elementary School

 

 

During the 2011-12 school year, generous donations from parents and community members have allowed PiE to provide $137,613 to Palo Verde. These funds are used:

 

- To pay for general classroom aides, so that every child has one more person to support his/her needs in the classroom. The aide will not only assist students, but also the teacher so that the students can spend more time in small groups and one-on-one with the teacher.

- To fund Spectra Art, so that every child can have regular access to art lessons and the creativity and confidence they build

- To help fund the Project Cornerstone and Project Resilience programs, to help build developmental assets and resilience for all students to bring into the classroom

- To provide additional reading specialist time, so that every child who needs extra support in reading receives that support, enabling the whole classroom to tackle more advanced material and progress in reading proficiency

 

"Partners in Education (PiE) is a critical part of our success at Palo Verde. PiE support is essential in helping provide a quality education in our school. Our classroom aides provide our teachers the additional support that is needed in the classroom. The art and science enrichment and social and emotional programs are important additions to a well rounded education."

-Anne Brown, Principal, Palo Verde
