When you Donate --- Consider a good S T R E T C H

So this question has come up lately:

"Why should I give more than $120?"

Because:

The History Department does not have updated maps.  Our students are looking at maps with USSR on them.

Art class is better when you have paint, glaze, and a working kiln.

Aquatic class is more inclusive when swimsuits can be provided for students who cannot afford them.

Dancing is more efficient when the teachers have a working sound system.

There are LACES students who are treading water in their writing skills.  A Writers workshop would raise the tide for all our students.

If we had more PE equipment the kids would be able to do more than just run the mile.

We are in second largest city in the United States.  On any given day there are venues offering first class field trips.   It would be nice if LACES students could go on Field Trips.   For example:  The Pompeii Exhibit at The California Science Center would connect with the curriculum for various grades.  

Tomorrow’s jobs will be in programing, robotics and other areas that will need workers who are well versed in new technology.   As hard as it is to believe, just because a kid can download Youtube or play a game on a phone or computer does NOT make them technologically savvy.    Our students will be on an advanced track if LACES had more computer labs, soft ware and robotic parts.

When you donate more than $120 you are supporting LACES in these areas and more.  This is what our teachers and departments would like to bring to LACES.  Please stretch your donation to help our school retain its excellence.

S T R E T C H  YOURSELF…..CONSIDER DONATING ABOVE THE FRIEND LEVEL!
