Please give a little and help me and my colleagues at Sage make a real difference to the kids at Tullygally Primary School! 🙏🏻 If you can, please donate. Every £ will get us a step closer to having a huge impact on their future. Giving them computer skills at an early age is like giving them a passport to the world! Over 92% of jobs need digital skills and computer literacy. The ability to understand and use technology is no longer an optional skill. It is already a fundamental necessity. For the younger generation, computers and digital technology are their natural environment. Computer literacy extends far beyond being able to surf the internet or play video games. It includes understanding the operation of a computer and even early programming skills. This breadth of knowledge opens possibilities for creativity, collaboration, and exploration. It’s like equipping children with a passport to the world. This is where educational computers for kids serve as a versatile tool. It helps shape their learning experiences.

As back to school season is in full effect, many parents are busy preparing themselves and their children for the new school year. Educators are also busy preparing for the upcoming school year and some school districts will be fortunate enough to receive financial resources that help them equip its classrooms for new & returning students while others may struggle to make do with outdated resources for their classrooms. It comes as no surprise that Oklahoma ranks poorly amongst other states in the country in education ranking 44th overall in 2024. The Every Student Succeeds Act was signed in 2015 to address advancing equity to disadvantaged & high-need students, however, many school districts continue to miss out on opportunities to better serve its students due to political sentiments that fail to prioritize the next generation of leaders and thinkers. This year I decided to join some of my friends at Generation Why to help gather & distribute school supplies to some of the Oklahoma City Public Schools who were not as fortunate to receive state or federal funding to help provide its students the necessary resources they need for the upcoming school year. Last year #GNWY managed to raise over $12k to help students at F.D. Moon Middle School for the 2023-2024 school year. This year their goal is to raise $10k for more #OKCPS schools and also host another #FillTheBus drive to accept any donations from local businesses & organizations to help steer this mission. If you or your organization is interested in participating, feel free to reach out to my dear friend Jordan at #GNWY to help them acheive their goal for the upcoming school year. Any donations can be distributed to #GNWY before or on August 4th at their #FillTheBus event or online via their website. See details below.

Today, I need your help. As many of you know, I chair the board of directors of BeWell in School, a local nonprofit that empowers schools with self-regulation through movement, mindfulness, and breathing. Our work revolutionizes school wellness and happiness while decreasing disciplinary interventions and improving scholastic outcomes. It is literally life-changing work. This year our board made a major pivot. We saw our school partners struggling with funding due to policy changes post-COVID. Rather than adding expense to the already constrained budgets of underfunded public schools, we committed to covering as many of their BeWell programming costs as we could jointly afford. Our partners still invest heavily through paying teacher salaries, but our team now works to cover other costs by partnering with philanthropic individuals and groups who want to see our schools improve. We have an aggressive goal to raise $100,000 by the end of 2024. Today, I'm asking for your help in meeting this goal. If you want to support an organization that helps students and teachers in a time of great need, then please click the link below and donate what you feel comfortable giving. https://lnkd.in/e4zr7a5A My company, Expedition Group, has committed to a $5,000 investment in this cause, and I'm hoping to find others who want to match that commitment. Who else will rise to the occasion and support this cause with me?

Santo 203 “Secret Snowflakes” Educators, together we can create a world where giving is the norm by providing creative opportunities for students. Our fifth grade students embraced the idea of becoming a “Secret Snowflake” by gifting to community members. One by one the Secret Snowflakes joined to form a blizzard of generosity to our neighbors and local charitable organizations. *Some took time to bake and deliver delicious goodies to neighbors *Others choose to donate to charities online. *Some handpicked gifts destined for the local Children's Hospital. *Others gave to Toys for Tots After the event, a lively discussion took place as students shared their “secret” with classmates. Reflections echoed the research of M. Ames who emphasizes that spending time enriching your community broadens your perceptions of the world. Immersing yourself in a community dedicated to positive change teaches you valuable lessons about how the world works and fosters a unique sense of purpose that often extends to other areas of your life. “The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious." - Luther. How do you cultivate a learning environment that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures compassionate hearts, fostering a generation that understands the true value of giving?  #VolunteerImpact #CommunityEngagement #StudentLeadership

We are on a mission to breathe new life into Quibdòs early education system, a place where countless bright futures are being shaped. Right now, many of the schools located in Quibdò are in urgent need of renovation, and the students lack essential books and fundamental materials. Take a moment to look at this picture. This run-down classroom is the current reality for many children. But together, we can change that. We envision a vibrant, well-equipped school where every child can thrive. But we can't do it alone. We need your support to turn this vision into reality Here is how you can make a difference: - Share: Help us spread the word. The more people know about our cause, the more support we can gather. - Donate: Your generous contributions, big or small, will directly fund the renovations and new learning materials. Let's come together to give these children the education they deserve. Thank you for your support. #EducationForAll #CommunitySupport #HelpNow #NonProfit #ForTheChildren #ChangeMakers #ImpactLives #EmpowerYouth #TogetherWeCan #JoinTheCause #Equality

You know that parents are key. You know that the parent-school relationship is complex. Your school’s parent engagement is no silver bullet to all the issues… and yet bit by bit you can change the culture to be more support and reduce the number of outbursts you are dealing with. Following last year’s first-ever Best season yet for schools, we are back for 24/25. There are some big changes to improve it, following what we learnt last year.  *We are combining the senior and prep school series, making it cheaper for all. *We changed the dates to fit into the school year and household diaries better! *There is now a healthy early bird discount. *You can choose your package based on your budget. *We can tell you the names of those who have signed up from your school. 🎉And the most exciting development is that we will let you throw open the series to any state schools or grass roots schools you are part partnered with at no extra cost to help prove your wider/ charitable benefit.🎉 (Depending on the package you choose!) If you want to talk more about how this will serve your school you can book a chat here: https://lnkd.in/ePT299vA If you want to get on a book now you can use this link here: https://lnkd.in/ep3aS8Dz *Don't miss out on that early bird!*
