Since MVEF was established in 2007, more than $900,000 in teacher-requested grants has been awarded to the six Mt. Vernon Schools. More than 255 teachers have been impacted by the grants along with many of their colleagues and their students.
The Mt Vernon Education Foundation purchased mi-fi boxes to be disbursed to students who did not have access to the internet for virtual learning. MVEF also purchased internet services from internet providers for those students that couldn’t be supported thru the mi-fi box program.
Studies have proven that girls tend to score higher than boys on reading tests. While there are many factors that lead to this international phenomenon, one proven method of improving reading comprehension is choice reading with high-interest novels. I would like to build my classroom library with more novels that feature male protagonists or are geared towards male interests.
Students independently read in my class for 60 minutes a week as is our English department policy. Additionally, students are required to keep weekly journals to prove comprehension and connect with their reading. When students have accessibility to books that appeal to them, they are more likely to read. The more students read, the more they strengthen their reading comprehension scores. I am hoping that these additions to my classroom library will help me close the gender gap in reading scores.

I am requesting a year-long membership to Kesler Science. This project is needed because our curriculum, while lovely for in-person students, lacks the “meat and potatoes” for virtual students. The Kesler Membership is a teacher-based curriculum developer who many of the science teachers already utilize for enrichment, interactive notebooks, and lab station activities. This particular curriculum developer has gone above and beyond in reimagining all the standards-based science concepts with an added virtual component, saving the teacher time and money. I have already purchased several curriculum components, out of pocket, to use with my in-person and virtual students, as the activities are Chromebook-ready and technology-based. This has saved my in-person students from moving around the room and coming into unnecessary contact with one another during the Covid outbreak. For the virtual students, they are receiving a robust instructional activity that is fun and engaging, all while working from home.

I teach Family and Consumer Science classes where we do the hands on experiences through, cooking, sewing, financial literacy, ages and stages of children, caring for children, comparing brands, and discussing the importance of family and friends in ones life.
Our biggest need is to have plastic aprons and plastic gloves for our students when we do our hands on activities. Every time we cook we are wearing a disposable apron and using disposable gloves for cooking and numerous other activities in the class. I will not be able to do these hands on experiences unless I have these items.
Also, the other area of need is to get my sewing machines serviced so I can have enough sewing machines for students to learn the basics of sewing and to make a mask and to learn how to make a reusable product.

The 8th grade science department has been having students work in teams to create devices to walk on water for many years. This year, we would like to have each student build a prototype after brainstorming possible designs for the Walk on Water projects. In the past, we have had students draw and label rough sketches of their ideas to share when they are working on their teams, but we feel that having students create prototypes will allow them to evaluate their designs in more detail and will allow all students to have a voice in the final design by giving them physical models to share with their peers. These various prototypes can be used to synthesize a final product for the team.
This idea is based on the engineering standards for middle school science:
6-8.E.4 Develop a prototype for investigations and modify a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

The 6th grade math teachers are hoping to get the teacher plan of Kami. We use this for our weekly math spiral reviews, online assignments, and virtual math learning. This allows us to integrate with Google Classroom, grade simultaneously, and interact with our virtual students easily — especially when it involves showing the math processes. Students who are in person also gets the benefit of this as they can complete uploaded assignments on here, use it as a whiteboard/scratch paper, and complete tests/quizzes while in their handwriting.

I have a bar height table in my classroom (provided by FES) which is difficult to find appropriate seating for. Each year I’ve had to use my own resources to replace the chairs used for the table (6 chairs). Due to the cost of this type of seating I’ve had to be resourceful and I’ve purchased seats from IKEA for $20-30 each. The seats are not great quality and break easily. I am requesting funding to buy sturdier seating (preferably metal stools) that will last longer. If there is additional funds left after purchasing the bar height stools I would love to be able to some additional seating to meet student sensory needs such as wobble stools or floor cushions.

With students unable to attend field trips or missing out on many outings they would have experienced the last year, I would like to provide multiple Room Transformations to bring some joy in these hard times. The supplies I’m asking for would allow me to decorate my room to turn it into a different environment for students to feel like they are visiting a different place and also attire for the children to dress in to immerse themselves in the adventure. We would then participate in a 1-2 day experience pretending to be a different person in a new location, while learning and practicing all subject areas. Examples of Room Transformations I would like to do: Boot Camp, Restaurant, Superhero Lair, Surgery Room, and Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I am requesting funding for a set of 25 wireless/Bluetooth headphones for my classroom. These are needed due to the extra time the students are spending on their Chromebook due to COVID-19. We are using these more in the classroom. A pair of headphones is on our Kindergarten Supply List. The issues I am having are some parents do not supply them, some students want to take them home on weekends and breaks and do not bring them back, some parents buy really inexpensive headphones and the sound stops working or they break. Another huge problem is the cord gets tangled and in knots and kindergarten students cannot untangle them. This requires me to stop teaching and help them. Some students also put the cord in their mouth and chew on it which is both unsanitary and dangerous.

In her article, Visual Journaling as a Reflective Practice, published in Psychology Today, Cathy Malchiodi, PhD wrote how, “we continue to learn more about the benefits from the relatively simple practice of visual journaling, both as a means of self awareness, but also as a powerful way to promote a sense of health and well being.” During the months spent in quarantine this past year, I found myself doodling in my journal to calm my mind. The process of visual journaling was very soothing and enabled me to continue to be creative despite the uncertainty in the world. I knew going back to school this year would cause anxiety for many children. I decided that I would introduce my students to reflective visual journaling in the beginning of the year to help create a healthy mindset. Students were asked to have an art journal and some sharpies and markers to get started. After spending the first quarter journaling with my students I already see the benefits. Third, fourth and fifth grade classes start each art period off with silent sketching. During this time they work in their sketchbooks using some of the techniques we learned in the beginning of the year such as zentangles and mindful doodling. Students often use their art journals at home and in class as well. Focusing on the process that leads to learning rather than only on the outcome helps foster a mindset that allows children to persist and grow. With this grant I would like to purchase additional drawing supplies in a variety of sizes and colors. I would like to purchase sharpies as well as thicker markers that would benefit my younger students. As we continue the process of reflective visual journaling I would love for the students to not be limited by the materials available.

I am seeking more flexible seating options for my students. Our morning is academic work from 7:30 am – 12:05 pm. This is an extremely long morning for 10-11 year old’s. Due to Covid we are very restricted on the movement we can do in the room and quite honestly they are stuck at their desks the majority of the day. I would like to supply my students with seats that allow for small movement to keep themselves regulated and charged for learning. Currently we have yoga balls but I have several students who cannot stay on the yoga balls without falling due to lack of keeping their feet on the floor. I have two of the balance ball chairs already that I am requesting and I would like to have 3 more for those students who need to have the option to move in their seat but also need the assistance in staying upright at their desks. I would also like to have the option for wobble stools. I have a few students who do not like the yoga balls at all and prefer the wobble stools. I would like to add 4 wobble stools to our flexible seating options.

I would like to request funding to create individual Math Task Boxes for the kindergarten students at Mt. Comfort Elementary. The materials purchased will provide teachers the opportunity to create hands-on activities that can be used throughout the school year. Kindergarten Math task boxes can be used in small groups, independent centers, one on one instruction and for take-home boxes. These task boxes will be toolkits that will help promote independent learning skills for early learners. The boxes can also be customized to meet the needs of high ability students, ELL students and students with special needs. My hope is that these task boxes will be fun, engaging and will keep our kids wanting to learn and practice skills over and over again.

Choice reading is an everyday occurrence in my classroom. My English 9 students begin each class period with a book of their choosing in one hand, but what do they do with the other hand? That’s where I need help! In a time where screens are abundant and attention spans are short, my students sometimes need a mindless task to occupy restless hands during choice reading, Yes, big kids need fidgets, too! A one-handed fidget can help my students focus on reading, and I know these stress-relievers would benefit students during assessments as well. The world is stressful enough these days and teens are feeling it. Help me calm the minds of my readers so they can focus on the worlds in their books to take a break from the world around them.

Independent reading is a priority in my classroom. Though COVID has thrown a wrench in my independent reading routine and weekly practices, I am still trying to establish the first 12 minutes of my class as a space where students are given the opportunity to read what interests them. Not only does this daily practice foster a love of reading, but it is crucial in building reading stamina, fluency, and comprehension. While reading is essential in understanding and appreciating the differences in others, it also emphasizes how much we as humans have in common. Having a classroom library that gives students access to books that feature characters of all walks of life is a step in the right direction; however, it is not enough. To truly understand the experiences of others, we must know who is telling our stories. #OwnVoiceBooks is a recent movement that ensures stories are written from an author’s perspective using their personal experiences. If students are going to read about characters from a marginalized or under-represented group, they should read stories by authors who have lived as a member in that group, not by an outsider. I would like to purchase #OwnVoices books to add to my classroom library.

This request is for frogs to be dissected in the Biology Classes. A $500 grant would provide frogs for 58 students. Due to the COVID restrictions this year, students cannot share supplies so although our students pay lab fees, they are not enough to cover all of the expenses this year. The school has been generous in providing $4 per student for basic supplies such as paper, markers, pencils, modeling dough, lab notebooks, tape, scissors and glue. Hancock County businesses have contributed $300 through a Facebook page someone was kind enough to set up. I have contributed approximately $500 of my own money for various needs, but we are still short. Thanks for considering a contribution to our Biology classes in an effort to provide the best possible experience for our students.

I am requesting funding to help offset the cost of each Anatomy and Physiology student having an opportunity to do a Fetal Pig dissection. Dissections are an important part of A&P and allow students to really see and understand the anatomy of the fetal pig and it allows students to compare the pig to human anatomy. Dissection practice is important in preparing students for Anatomy & Physiology classes at the college level where they will be exposed to specimens with expectation that students have the skills needed to perform dissections. Some students at the college level will even be exposed to cadaver labs, so this preparation is extremely important to ensure their future success. Normally we would have 2-3 students work on each pig, but with the Covid restrictions each student needs to be provided with their own pig.

“Another Round” is from IU, which was where “Straight No Chaser” got its’ start. After “Straight
No Chaser” became a professional traveling group, the university group changed its’ name to
“Another Round.” This group has extensive performance and musical experience, and would
have so much to share regarding being in a collegiate a cappella group, how the group has
helped them in their adult lives, and how they include this amazing experience into their college
experience even if they are not majoring in music. This would also help open the eyes of
students who are interested in careers in music but who might be looking for a less traditional
route. This concert would also hopefully be attended by community members and many
students outside the music department and will help grow interest in MVHS music offerings
and create awareness for the art of contemporary a cappella singing. My two MVHS a cappella
groups have been around for 4 years and are growing in their abilities and we are having our
First small a cappella festival this year at the high school. Bringing in well known and talented
groups like this will put Mt. Vernon on the map and will help us and our department gain
attention from other schools and other programs, as well. The masterclass that “Another
Round” will provide will be my students’ First experience with professional training and will help
them get a sense of what professional musicians do every day, how they rehearse and work
together, and how they have become as successful as they are.

This technology can be used to actively engage the visual learner as well as hands-on learners. The visual learners will be able to see the topic of discussions such as a coin or math calculation while the hands-on learner can benefit by operating the equipment and placing objects under the document camera and describing them to their classmates.
This grant will open up the possibilities for Mt. Vernon High School students to participate in Science Olympiad events that have not been available to them in the past due to the lack of resources.
The introduction of a Robot Arm and other needed materials will provide the resources needed to participate in all 23 categories of the Science Olympiad expanding the current reach of MV students to the robotic Arm, MagLev, Gravity Vehicle, Elastic Launched Glider, and Boomilever events.
The Science Olympiad provides highly motivated students an opportunity to apply their knowledge in a hands-on way that makes learning that much more exciting and adds the element of competition which provides confidence, poise, and a sense of accomplishment. The Team and its faculty sponsors have worked hard to garner support from outside sources, and this grant would aid in achieving the success much desired by the group.
