It's
been a productive year for the QBEF! Thanks to generous support
from our families and residents, we have made a number of grants to
District 16 for a variety of projects to improve educational
opportunities for all our students. These include:
- building grants totaling $2000 (in support of PBIS [Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports] and purchase of iPads for student and teacher use)
- funding
science literacy programs totaling about $2000 for Pheasant Ridge and
Glen Hill schools with the DuPage Children's Museum for entire grade
levels and with Argonne Laboratories for Americana and Glenside
- purchase
books for each building's “Book Rooms” for a total of $3000! Each
building's "Book Room" contain class sets of books that can be used by
all teachers for classroom use.
Your donations, our restaurant fundraisers, and Market Day provide us with the income to be able to spend this $7000 for our students! Thank you for your continuing support! Click here for information on how your Amazon purchases can benefit the Foundation (at no cost to you)
