Hello Dolphin Community,
It’s day 6 of our donation drive, and we’ve raised $33,220 of our $62,000 goal with an additional $4,650 in pending employer matches!
Every Bay Farm student deserves the tools to succeed, and your support ensures that happens. This academic year, the PTSA is investing in critical educational programs that make a real difference:
- $23,000 for reading and math support services, including tutoring for students who need extra help.
- $10,000 for programs like Lexia, a powerful, individualized reading platform.
- $5,000 to enhance the Library, fostering a love of books and learning in every child.
These investments help struggling students thrive, inspire advanced learners to excel, and give all our children the resources to reach their potential.
As a long time 5th Grade teacher and now librarian, I cannot emphasize the value of our early reading intervention support enough. When a student enters the middle grades with reading challenges, their learning gaps accelerate. The transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” is hard on students who have not mastered decoding and fluent reading. Having strong support for early reading intervention programs is invaluable to keep those students feeling confident and progressing in their education! - Kim Chaney, Librarian
Let’s work together to make this happen!
Thank you for helping us empower every Bay Farm student,
Executive Board
