How has the #ONEEDMOND campaign impacted your classroom and students?
The #ONEEDMOND campaign supports our public school teachers and students with needed classroom materials. The Edmond Public Schools Foundation is asking the community to match teachers and school employee donations. The goal is 500 community members to make a one-time donation of $100, or sign up for a monthly recurring gift of $10.
Dwight Justus
Cimarron Middle School 7th Social Studies
“Donations received through the #ONEEDMOND campaign allowed my students to explore our world! Because the board games tie into my class of Geography, my students are already getting a head start on some country research projects and knowledge of current events. Thanks again for supporting my classroom.”
Jasmine King
Sunset Elementary 4th-grade teacher
“The #ONEEDMOND campaign has turned our vision into a reality! “MySpace” safe place has encouraged my students to be selfadvocates, identify and name their feelings, and self-regulate...while remaining active participants in the learning process. Thank you so much!”
Stacy Jackson
Cheyenne Middle School GATE Teacher
“The #ONEEDMOND campaign recently helped purchase a dry erase board for each desk in my classroom. Students work out problems each day on their boards, and they love having an erasable workspace. I enjoy their little pictures and notes they leave me on them as well!”
Cam Case
Boulevard Academy Educator, Business, Computer Applications, Physical Education
“It means a lot to have community support. Coming together to show students how much they care makes such a huge difference! The ping pong table provided through the #ONEEDMOND campaign not only helps teach math, but gives them a lifetime skill of working through adversity with others.”
Kathy Radle
John Ross Elementary Moderate-Cognitive Special Education Teacher
“The #ONEEDMOND campaign has given my students the opportunity to work on life skills that will go far beyond my classroom. We received a grant to operate a classroom coffee cart that serves the teachers. Running their business is one of their highlights of the week and I get to teach in a new way!”
Elizabeth Ging
Edmond Public Schools Administration Center Early Childhood Facilitator
“Early Birds classes have impacted hundreds of Edmond families! Available for caregivers with children beginning at age 2. Classes provide information on development, school readiness, parenting, and more. #ONEEDMOND has helped provide knowledge and tools to give every child a smart start!”
