A pumpkin patch field trip offers valuable hands-on learning opportunities for kindergarteners. It supports early childhood development by connecting classroom lessons to real-world experiences. Children can explore plant life cycles by seeing how pumpkins grow from seeds, observe seasonal changes, and learn about farm life and where food comes from. The trip also encourages sensory exploration, language development through storytelling and discussion, and math skills through activities like counting pumpkins or comparing sizes. Social skills are developed through group interaction, turn-taking, and cooperative play, making the experience both educational and enriching. We are requesting $1,500 plus cost reimbursement to assist with travel and admission to Roca Berry Farm. Thank you for supporting McPhee kindergarteners and their chance to explore the world around them.

First impressions matter, and at Calvert Elementary, we want every student, parent, and visitor to feel welcomed the moment they walk up to our main school entrance. We are raising funds to install a dedicated Welcome Bench at the main entrance of our school.  The current bench is rusty and is no longer safe for students, families, and visitors.
This bench will offer a comfortable spot for parents waiting at dismissal, or students waiting to either enter the school in the morning or waiting to be picked up after school.

By contributing to this project, you are helping us build a physical space that reflects the heart of our community.

Thank you in advance,

Mrs. Giddings (principal)

Lux Middle School students earn Lux Bux throughout the school year for being safe, responsible, and respectful at school. Students then spend that money at our School Store.
Your donations will help purchase items like school supplies, water bottles, sports balls, fidgets, snacks, and other high-value type items middle school students love. 
Help us reach our goal to reward students for helpful and respectful behavior at school! Requesting $1000.00 plus cost reimbursement.
