December's Dream a Day Campaign

Our students have some BIG dreams and they need an education to help them get there.  Throughout the month of December we will  feature a different student each day and their dream for their future.  Help us get 30 new sponsors to provide educational scholarships so we can make all of our students dreams for the future a reality.

Students Start Fundraising Challenge

Students at Breton Downs Elementary want to do something BIG, but they know they can't do it alone.  They would like to raise the funds needed to purchase the school building in Haiti so the students there will have a permanent school. They believe that if a large number of people donate jut a little, that together they would be able to meet the goal.  They are challenging individuals, student groups, and schools to all get involved.  Take their challenge at www.crowdrise.com/doalittle.

We are so excited to announce that the collaborative art piece created by our students and students at Breton Downs Elementary School was accepted into ArtPrize! The circle drawing piece is meant to show that if everyone works together and contributes even a little, something beautiful can be created. We can't wait to show off their work in September, but you can get a sneak peak now.

Music Brings Joy to the Students

During the January trip to the school, we got to see just how important music is to our students.  They start every school day with singing songs in the courtyard and join together every Friday for a sing-a-long.  They joy they get from music and singing is very moving!
