Draft Day

DESERT FINANCIAL FIESTA BOWL CHARITIES WISHES FOR TEACHERS DRAFT DAY PRESENTED BY SRP

Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers recipients were invited to video calls during Virtual Draft Day presented by SRP to receive an important update on their application. During those calls, they were surprised by partners, community champions, local celebrities, and board members who shared with them the exciting news that their wishes had been granted. One hundred virtual rooms, fifty phone calls and four in-person wishes took place over the course of three days to surprise teacher recipients.

SARA MULLENAUX, ROADRUNNER SCHOOL K-8 COMPUTERS, ART & GRAPHIC DESIGN TEACHER

“With the funds I received from this program, I was able to purchase technology and other hands-on materials that my students have never been exposed to before. It has been fun watching their enjoyment and excitement when using these new tools.” NICOLE YOUNG, ALTA LOMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MATH TEACHER

“Through this generous program we bought a variety of math manipulatives and math games. These resources give my students a hands-on approach to learning math. It also makes math fun to practice and learn. I never would have been able to purchase these items without the grant.”

KEVIN ROLFE, COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, SRP

“As it pertains to Wishes for Teachers Draft Day in particular, it’s an opportunity to get funding into the hands of teachers who can directly use those funds to impact their classrooms for their students and that’s what we’re looking for.”
