Falling Behind: Risks for K-12 Students
We are in one of the most unpredictable times in the history of education. COVID-19 shut down schools in March, and the future of education still remains uncertain. The last academic year ended with unprepared students and teachers transitioning to distance learning. With the new school year approaching, it is still unclear whether students will end up back at home again. Some schools are already planning on distance learning, some are attempting to return to normal and some are trying a blended approach. Read the Full Article…

This Month's Highlights
Our Mission Continues: Help Us Reach 30,000 Students
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’ve been able to raise more than $10,000 to help provide 30,000 Anywhere C-STEM Toolkits to students in need. We still have a long way to go, but we are committed to helping bridge the digital divide and the additional barriers so many children are dealing with daily that impact their ability to learn. With the course of this school year still undetermined because of COVID-19, we need your help to make this big endeavor a reality. Please help us reach our goal.

C-STEM Receives First Federal Grant
Help a Classroom Near You
Classrooms don’t have the supplies they need to help them explore their potential and excel.
Teachers typically spend hundreds of dollars of their own money on materials each year, and it’s still not enough. Devastating budget cuts are only making it worse. You can help make a difference by contributing via www.ClassWish.org.
Here’s how it works:
- Teachers create a Wish List of the things they need to equip great classrooms
- ClassWish lets parents and others see exactly what is needed and how to help
- Donors receive a receipt for their tax-deductible contribution
- ClassWish sends the supplies directly to the school
Please donate if you can. Students and teachers need our help.
