Goals and Accomplishments

2009/2010 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Thanks to the contributions by parents, teachers, staff, and local businesses, the Foundation's main fundraisers (Capital Campaign, Jog-a-thon, and Silent Auction) raised $26,282 during the 2009/2010 school year.

Similar to ALEKS funding for previous years, funding was provided to support licenses for the CompassLearning software learning tool. CompassLearning is a software company whose system is tied in with NWEA which created and maintains the MAP testing site. The alliance between the two allows educators to move seamlessly between NWEA's precise assessments (MAP) and CompassLearning's rich curriculum, creating a powerful learning experience for all students with access 24 hours a day. Bringing CompassLearning to Canyon View has given differentiated learning experiences to all students because once connected either at home or school, the student will be taken to fun activities custom tailored to their individual needs. Math program licenses were purchased for all 2nd through 5th grade students and English Language Arts licenses for all students, 1st through 5th grades.  These are one-time licenses and will not need to be purchased again.

The Foundation also provided continued funding for an IMPACT teacher supporting students in grades K-3.  IMPACT teachers work directly with small groups of students who are in need of more intense instruction in reading and writing. Students are assessed frequently and when skills are mastered, return fulltime to regular instruction. The IMPACT program benefits all students. While students needing reinstruction are pulled from the classroom by an IMPACT teacher, the majority of students benefit from lessons and activities void of remediation.

2008/2009 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

A huge thanks to everyone - parents, teachers, students, and volunteers - who contributed their time and talents to make our Jog-a-Thon a great success again this year.  Preliminary numbers show that we raised approx. $7,800.  We could not have done this without the help and cooperation of all of you and, of course, our great runners -our students and teachers.  A special thanks to our vibrant emcees, Nay Flinn and Evan Ray and our fantabulous DJ, Judy Villa!

Thanks to Canyon View students, staff, teachers, parents, friends, and local businesses we all had a great time at our 3rd annual Silent Auction and raised over $16,000 for our kids and our school.   Great job, everybody, and THANKS!

Through these fundraisers and the annual Capital Campaign, the Foundation provided licenses for the ALEX computer directed math program for all 4th and 5th graders, and a subset of the 3rd grade.  The Foundation was also able to provide funding for a reading and writing IMPACT teacher.

2007/2008 AT A GLANCE

As we look over our successes from the 2007/2008 school year, we are happy to report that through Coins for Cams, the Jog-a-thon, the Silent Auction, direct donations and other fundraisers, the Foundation raised over $34,000!. 

With these donations the Foundation was able to purchase Doc-u-cams for the classrooms, helped fund an Impact Teacher, pay for the ALEKs Math program, and purchase a Promethean Board.  Thank you to everyone who helped make last year a huge success!!!
