Charlotte Schools Partner with Local Businesses to Enhance Education
Summary:
Office Max Contributes to Charlotte Schools
As the new school year begins, Charlotte Schools are seeing a wave of support from local businesses. Nations Ford Elementary School, part of the Charlotte Schools system, received a generous $5,000 donation from Office Max. This contribution coincides with the grand opening of a new Office Max location at Rivergate Town Center on September 6. Teachers from Nations Ford Elementary were invited to the event, where they could purchase additional supplies for their classrooms using the donated funds, greatly benefiting both students and teachers.
In addition to the financial donation, teachers enjoyed goody bags filled with office supplies and barbeque from Damons restaurant, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event. Customers at the opening could also enter a giveaway featuring $1,000 shopping sprees and other prizes.
Collaborating with the United Way
Charlotte Schools have a long-standing partnership with the United Way, engaging in programs like Right Moves for You, A Child's Place, and Communities in Schools. On September 21, Charlotte Schools launched their United Way fundraising campaign. A rally featuring Superintendent Peter Gorman and United Way 2006 regional campaign chair Michael Baker underscored the collaboration. Preschoolers participated to thank donors for their support in achieving the $44 million fundraising goal. This partnership not only raises funds but also allows students to interact with positive adult role models.
School Resource Officer Program
The School Resource Officer Program, a collaboration between Charlotte Schools and the local police force, plays an essential role in promoting safety and character education. Officer Robert Kierce, a School Resource Officer with Charlotte Schools, received a warm welcome back after serving ten months in Iraq. The Jay M. Robinson School community celebrated his return with a standing ovation. Previously, when Kierce left for Iraq with the Marine Corps in June 2005, the school honored him with a send-off parade, gifting him phone cards and coloring books for Iraqi children.
With a degree in forensic science, Kierce plans to engage with science and history classes, sharing his experiences from Iraq. Having been part of the program for approximately seven years, he is gradually returning to his routine as the new school year begins.
"Terrific Teacher Tuesday" Initiative
Charlotte Schools, in collaboration with V101.9 FM, have launched "Terrific Teacher Tuesday" to honor elementary school teachers. On the second Tuesday of each month, V101.9 FM will highlight a deserving teacher and share what makes them exceptional. The winner will be announced on-air and visited at their school. Nominations, consisting of a 100-word description, can be submitted by parents, students, and staff, celebrating outstanding educators within the Charlotte Schools system.
