Sauvie Island School

Second grade at work on their storyline unit about food production.

Here is our Jog A Thon update for today. School-wide we have raised $12,056. We are $7,944 away from our $20,000 goal. Fifth grade is currently in the lead raising $2,306. This annual fundraiser is crucial for our technology program. These funds give us the ability to provide a 1:1 iPad ratio in grades 1-8 and technology stations in Kindergarten. By integrating technology and Place-Based objectives we are helping create learners who are capable of independently creating digital storybooks, artwork, presentations connected to the community, and real-life applications. If we reach our $20,000 goal Mrs.Schacht (gr.3) will kiss a pig!! In addition, the class who raises the most funds receives a special prize just for them. The highest-earning student will receive a gift certificate for the school's Scholastic book fair.

Thank you Topaz Farm for the delicious baked goods!
