Part 3 - Line 4a

LAST YEAR WE FUNDED JUST OVER 200 CLASSROOM PROGRAMS/PROJECTS/RESOURCES THROUGH OUR ANNUAL TEACHER GRANT PROGRAM. 220 TEACHERS BENEFITED FROM THE FUNDS AND IN-TURN PROVIDED NEW HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES AND MATERIALS TO ENRICH CLASSROOMS AND BRING THE CURRICULUM TO LIFE BENEFITING AN ESTIMATED 6,000 STUDENTS. ADDITIONAL INTENTIONAL GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO FUND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION. ADDITIONALLY, NEW FUNDING WAS AWARDED TO SUPPORT THE WAYNE UNIFIED GAMES, WHICH IS DESIGNED SIMILAR TO SPECIAL OLYMPICS, BUT FOR WAYNE STUDENTS ONLY.


SCIENCE SUMMER SAFARI IS A SUMMER CAMP THAT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR 30 YEARS. THIS EXPERIENCE WENT BACK TO ITS TRADITIONAL DAILY FIELD TRIP FORMAT THIS YEAR, AFTER 2 YEARS OF A HYBRID FORMAT DUE TO COVID. WE RECEIVED GRANT FUNDING FROM LILLY ENDOWMENT AND THE CENTRAL INDIANA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM. 112 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN HANDS-ON STEM ACTIVITIES AND DAILY FIELD TRIPS, INCLUDING AEROSPACE EXPLORATION WITH AIRPLANE MODELS AND AVIATION DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE INDIANAPOLIS AIRPORT; A CREEK WALK EXPLORATION WITH FISH, PLANTS, AND INDIANA CRITTERS IN MONROE/MORGAN COUNTIES; GEOLOGY AND NATURE EXPLORATION WITH HIKING AND EXPLORING AT TURKEY RUN STATE PARK; FOSSIL DAY WITH COLLECTION OF FOSSILS FROM ANCIENT SEAS IN BROOKVILLE, IN; AND A CAVE EXPLORATION IN MORGAN COUNTY. THE OVERALL GOAL WAS TO ENGAGE STUDENTS IN LEARNING AND THINKING ABOUT SCIENCE THROUGH REAL-LIFE, HANDS-ON SCIENCE EXPERIENCES THAT RELATE DIRECTLY TO THEIR CLASSROOM LEARNING.


IN 21-22, WE CREATED A STRATEGY TO ENGAGE OUR SCHOOLS IN GIVING TUESDAY, WHICH IS AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF GIVING. ALL SCHOOLS HAD THEIR OWN DONATION PAGE; HOWEVER, ALL GIFTS FLOWED THROUGH AND WERE MANAGED BY WAYNE TOWNSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION (WTEF). ALTOGETHER, $15,915 WAS RAISED FROM 548 DONORS. THE AVERAGE GIFT WAS $29. $15,478 WAS AWARDED DIRECTLY TO SCHOOLS.
