What Does the Home and School Sponsor?

Do you ever wonder what happens to the money Home and School raises? Well, all that wrapping paper and candy that you, your friends and family buy goes to supplement and/or pay for the following:

• Two assemblies featuring the "Strings for School" program in January and February
  
  
• Resident Poet and Storytellers visited the school in October and April during Poetry Week and the Fall Festival
  
  
• More than $1,000 in Ceramic supplies for our new kiln, so the children can make beautiful pottery in art class.
  
  
• More than $5,000 in books were purchased for our classroom libraries to provide level reading materials for fourth, fifth and sixth grade students.
  
  
• $1,700 to supplement the following class trips:
• Kindergarten and first grade trip to experience "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile"
• Fifth grade trip to see "A Christmas Carol" at Celebration Theater
• Third grade trip to Cape May for ocean study
• Fourth grade visit to the Kimmel Center and the Franklin Institute
• Sixth grade experience of live theatre by viewing a performance of "The Giver"
• Second graders to go back in time and view firsthand the colonial way of life.

• Nearly $3,000 to enhance the playground with the new elephant and benches for the children to enjoy at recess.
  
  
• Approximately $5,000 for library furniture and new fans for the classrooms.
