VIRTUAL STARLIGHT Gala Sunday, April 25, 2021 4:30–6:00 p.m. Celebrating Our Community, Building Our Future Celebrating Our Community, Building Our Future ★ 2
Fund-The-Future: Hands-On Science How do we know when the sun will rise and set? How does the changing environment affect organisms? How do we know matter exists even if it cannot be seen? These are just some of the questions students will explore with the new Science curriculum. This new curriculum was approved by the San Carlos School District and will update our science program to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This year’s Fund-the-Future campaign will bring engaging, hands-on science learning to the K–8 San Carlos classrooms. San Carlos Charter will use its share of the fund to buy equipment and consumables for science education. Investing in science will yield returns well beyond the school day. Students will: • Learn science concepts with engaging hands on exercises. • Build critical thinking and problem solving skills. • Become careful consumers of scientific and technological information related to their everyday lives. • Appreciate the beauty and wonder of science and continue their scientific explorations outside of school. • Develop the skills to enter careers of their choice, including (but not limited to) careers in science, engineering and technology. Your donation to Fund-The-Future will provide the needed resources to purchase hands-on kits for classroom lessons, enhance professional development for teachers in science education, obtain additional iPads and Chromebooks for students, and provide principals with funds to support science-related activities at their school. Your donation will be magnified by a dollar for dollar match up to an amount announced at the virtual gala. Thank you to the following generous donors who have joined together to match our Fund-The-Future campaign: 1 ★ SCEF Virtual Starlight Gala
