School Activities
Donut Days
Many students are willing to buy pastries at break and in the morning, especially for a good cause. The ASB can buy just 3-5 boxes of donuts and sell them at school to raise money for the less fortunate. If the district does not allow students to sell donuts, than teachers can also be involved and sugar-free bakes goods can also be used. – Gilbert Elementary School
Solar Panel Day
As a part of the ever-growing green movement, your school can also get involved in becoming more energy efficient! Teachers can ask students to make a small classroom donation and have bake sales to raise money to buy solar panels for the school. Then, once enough money is gathered, one day at the school can be spent installing the solar panels with students. The students can also decorate the solar panels with markers and posters. – Soulsbyville Elementary School
Shoe Decorating
Early Dropout Prevention (Mentorship Program)
To proactively reduce the nation’s dropout rate, it is possible to begin with students who are struggling at the elementary level. In order to do so, schools must first identify students who are identified as potential dropouts through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) which is implemented throughout the state. Then, schools can partner teachers or older students with these at-risk individuals in a close mentorship program to foster a greater educational importance with each student. Ultimately, a program like this can benefit students in the long run by fostering an attachment to school at an early age. – Westminister Elementary School
