Highlights of JCEF/Albert Haller Foundation Funding 

Student and Classroom Needs 

Albert Haller funding provided the Joyce Community Education Foundation with $5500.00 to help Crescent School students have the supplies they needed to do their best.  The Logger Store was stocked with more school supplies that students would earn through classroom efforts. JCEF made sure hunger wasn’t an issue and provided snacks at all grade levels. 

Technology Tools for Teens

The Albert Haller Foundation provided Crescent School with $8700.00 for new technology gear and supplies. Middle school students enjoyed several science projects that put their engineering and math skills to work. They constructed a mini-golf course, made tabletop water fountains, and utilized 3D skills to make a Tech Deck Mini Park.
Education is changing with technology. Classrooms are becoming opportunity centers to discover how technology works and then using these skills to develop proficiency in many areas of learning.

Field Trips/Kindness Projects 

One of the aspects of learning often takes place off campus. Yet, it is quickly becoming an unaffordable option. Thanks to Haller funding, the middle school students will be making a trip to IFly—the indoor skydiving center near Seattle. Utilizing their math and science skills they will calculate their body mass and how much lift is required to fly. Recently a group of high school seniors went on a college tour as they considered next steps. elementary students are studying history this spring and have some fun outings planned. Off-campus education is a tool in helping students see their world through a different lens.
Kindness Projects 
Students enjoyed art in a way that brought messages of kindness to all. Painted rocks expressed kindness and encouragement in their community.  Thanks to the Haller Foundation, paints and supplies were purchased so that our after-school students could enjoy spreading the kindness with rock-messages. These are the activities that encourage students and help them learn to love learning.
