For each book they read over the span of four weeks, the students wrote the title on a piece of white paper, which they would crumple up to make a “snowball.” On the 15th, they got to throw the “snowballs” at each other, in the multi-purpose room. The two classes read the equivalent of more than 800 snowballs!
Funding goes to each of the Title 1 schools to help defray costs for sending fifth graders to Science Camp and this year they distributed a total of 16 mini-grants to Sunnyvale teachers, eight at the elementary level and eight at the middle schools.

This year, we consulted the real experts — the children themselves — to learn what behaviors they especially appreciate from their teachers. No two answers were the same, but there is one message we heard loudly and clearly in every child’s statement: when it comes to working with children, every interaction matters.
I will always advocate for our children, yet I know that the greatest gift we can offer them is the ability to advocate for themselves — to shape their own futures in a world of their own design.
A quality school is one that not only successfully supports all students with the traditional subjects but also nurtures the whole child and instills all of the traits necessary to be successful in the 21st Century.
