Funding Commitments for 2008-2009
Arts and Education
 The Foundation Board has made three funding commitments to the school so far this year. We anticipate additional funding based on the Membership Campaign and the success of the Silent Auction in the Spring. Homework Club - This after school tutoring program is taught by the Hoover staff and helps any student that wants additional assistance with their work. Approximately $7,000 commitment across the school year. Band Chairs - We purchased 70 Wenger Nota Standard Music Chairs for the band room. These special chairs are designed to help the student hold correct posture while playing. A $5,000 commitment Promethan Board - We purchased a single additional interactive teaching board for the school to voer classrooms not funded by the county. This new tool as put a spark into some of the methods used by our Teachers. Approximately a $4,500 commitment. |
