OUR LATEST NEWS!

We have been busy delivering flowers and gift bags to the new teachers in Fauquier County Public Schools.
For the first time in 35 years, we were not able to host our New Teacher Dinner. We look forward to bringing everyone together again in 2021! We are grateful for all of our teachers and thankful for their dedication to the students and families in Fauquier County.
When local State Farm agent Carmen Rivera learned that students at Grace Miller Elementary were in need of Chromebooks for at-home learning, she jumped into action!
She personally donated $540 and her office (Carmen Rivera State Farm) also donated $540 to the Foundation. State Farm corporate matched her donation bringing the total raised to $1,603. Upon hearing of Carmen's generosity, Ms. Debbie Diaz-Arnold and her husband donated $1,000 to purchase more Chromebooks.

OUR CURRENT PROGRAMS:
My First Book Club -Designed for at-risk preschool students to improve literacy, develop a love of reading and promote peer interaction. Each month students receive a new book for classroom and at home reading. Teachers set goals for individual reading skills and read together in a group setting. Students receive book bins to take home to build their first home library. For an annual donation, you can give a child a new book every month, including a Holiday gift and two books for the summer.
Multi-Sensory Learning - Teachers are trained to better assess, evaluate and teach children using multi-sensory learning tool and strategies through the Institute of Multi-Sensory Education's Orton-Gillingham program. The ultimate goal is to improve literacy outcomes for all students and especially those with learning disabilities, limited English and economical disadvantages. The Fall 2020 session sold out and we already have 20 teachers interested in a summer session. The school division has limited resources to supplement specialized literacy instruction for sub-groups, so your donations help us to support teachers and better serve their students
Educator Grants - For 30 years the Foundation has provided grants to dedicated Fauquier County public school teachers, educators and administrators to enable them to participate in high-quality professional development that impacts their classroom teaching. These funds support participation in experiences such as conferences, seminars, research, cultural programs and summer institutes. These grants cover registration fees, travel, course materials and other related costs. For many teachers, they could not participate without this financial support.
STEM Summer Camps - Even though camps are cancelled for 2020, we are proud to support summer camps for students in Fauquier County Public Schools. It is through donations and grants that we are able to keep these camps affordable for families, offer scholarships, provide transportation, and purchase additional materials to keep students engaged and challenged.
