Shelley  Levine - 7th Grade Reading Teacher   Classroom Library: The students became very involved in the series that was purchased, (low reading level, high interest books for reluctant and English learner readers), and were very excited when new books came in. They began to enjoy the reading process.

Stephanie  Daale - Mountain View Elementary   Thank you so much for the grant you gave me to purchase tile math! I can’t wait to use it with my new class!”

Nina Mikulich - Lookout Mountain   Dear WEF Committee,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the grant to start my "Take Home Reading" Program. I am looking forward to selecting the books during the summer so they will be ready for the children next year. I really appreciate that you are providing the grants and that it is fairly simple to apply. It is also very nice to receive the money and be able to purchase the materials. Thank you again for providing these grants!

Michelle Rippe - 2nd grade teacher   Asian Cultural Unit: My students gained a better understanding and respect of cultural differences. One student said, ‘I wish I were Japanese so I could make kites all the time.

Sharon Coatney - Third Grade Teacher - Shaw Butte   The grant application was very teacher friendly and I was so pleased to find a way to motivate my students to read while involving families in the process. Thank you W.E.F.

Jill Daoust & Sherry Phillips  - Tumbleweed Elementary   Children’s Books: The books enhanced a guided reading program for 2nd and 3rd grade students. Our students’ reading level improved and we noticed improvement in word recognition, oral reading, and comprehension. Love of reading also increased. We will continue our program next year and, hopefully, expand our library. We’re also planning to add art and written language activities to coincide with the stories in the purchased books.
