"My kindergarteners have been LOVING the Osmo’s. I knew that they would be engaging, but I never dreamed that they would go home and talk about them all night to their parents. I have 2 parents who are buying Oslo’s for their kids for Christmas because they talk about it so much at home. Thank you for this opportunity. I (and KE friends!) really appreciate it!"

Thank you again...Thank you again for the funding to allow my program to be able to purchase Read Naturally. My students have enjoyed the stories they get to choose from and learn. Within the program the students try to increase their rate of reading and improve their comprehension. I am using the program with 6 students and each of them have increases their fluency in reading.
Thanks, again, Dale Jedlicka

"Thank you SO much for the SEF grant from first grade for the color printer! Attached is a photo of some students around the printer, surrounded by a plethora of color printed items we use and see every day. The first grade team and students are so grateful for this grant!"
From the Solon Economist
The Career Tech department at Solon was awarded a SEF grant for the 2018-2019 school year. We utilized those funds to purchase a set of Bar Clamps to assist the students with completing their skills assessments and class projects. The improvements to quality of work and student learning has been wonderful.
One of the Critical Competencies of our department involves exposing students to tools and processes that they would encounter in career environments. Any student with an interest in woodworking, carpentry, homebuilding, facility maintenance, or other building trades will benefit from having access to the increasing variety of tools and accessories in our shop. Thank you to your Foundation and all of its donors and sponsors for making these purchases possible for our departments. You are making a difference in our classrooms.
