Enrichment and Enlightenment (E2)

UPDATE MAY 2008

To:  All parents of St. Marys students:

As we prepare for the 2008 -09 school year, we would love your input and ideas about what Home and School (E2) is helping with for our students for Enrichment and Enlightenment.  In summary, we have a budget of approximately $12,500 (funded from Market Day proceeds and some SCRIP proceeds) that is covering:

Classroom Fieldtrip reimbursement:  - teacher requests

Spanish Enrichment Program:   This covers Rosetta Stone, a computer based language program, and a cultural program for 2^nd – 6^th graders;  and Spanish I, taught by Jennifer Spiegel from Fisher Catholic, for high school credit, to 7^th and 8^th graders, or students who test into the program.  Interested current 6^th graders, who would like to join, please contact Jane Dodds at 654-6882 ASAP  because the program begins with a summer session June 3 – 6, 2008.

Art Enrichment:  approximately $1500 per session for K – 8,  Art and Clay instructs in the Spirit Center.  We are in need of a coordinator for Art.

Science:  In the past, COSI on Wheels, $1000, and Mad Science after school that parents funded.  We are in need of a coordinator for Science.

Math:  Mrs. Cummins is going to head up a Math Counts program beginning next school year for 6^th – 8^th graders chosen by their teachers and we are looking into Accelerated Math for K – 8 (just like Accelerated Reader). 

Great Books:  2^nd – 5^th graders are chosen by their teachers to meet once per week with a parent volunteer for 30 minutes during the school day for 2, 10-week sessions, totaling 20 weeks. 

If you have any additional specific suggestions regarding other Enrichment ideas, or areas of concern, that would be wonderful!  Please put any information in the E2 mailbox in the office.  Also, we are very much in need of additional volunteers, if you have ideas and can help, please let us know!!   Call Tammy Thomas at 746-5752 or Kelly Virgin at 569-7235 with any questions, ideas, etc.
