Berwyn CARES Gives over $4000 to Berwyn Teachers

Berwyn CARES was able to fund over $4000 in Berwyn classroom projects in The Berwyn Challenge! Thanks to all of you who participated by attending our fall concert or making a donation directly. Thanks to your generosity, kids in Berwyn will have learning experiences they wouldn't otherwise have had. Materials purchased include:

*new poetry books to help middle school writers become poets

*an LCD Multimedia Projector to effectively use technology for writing instruction

*4 digital cameras for use in creating multimedia projects

*award winning novels for 8th graders participating in a reading competition

*percussion instruments for middle school students

*writing center manipulatives to help enrich the creative process for young writers

and much more!

If you haven't yet contributed, consider making a donation today! Read some of the thank you notes posted by the teachers who benefited. You'll realize the direct impact you will have by helping other teachers realize their dreams for the students of Berwyn. Here is one example:

Dear BerwynCARES,
Thank you so much for funding this project! Instruments are so important for music class and the students will be overjoyed to see so many new instruments to choose from! I see so many performance opportunities ahead with all of my students. Now, with a bigger variety of instruments, students will be able to choose many instruments to learn. I cannot wait to see the look on their faces, and we will definitely be taking pictures to post as soon as we get them. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
With gratitude,

Ms. U.

I'll post other thank you notes as they come in, but check out The Berwyn Challenge for yourself and choose a project to fund. Together we can make a difference! We already have.
