Announcing the 2020 Maroon & Gray Beneficiary: Student Opportunity Grant Program Every year, the Maroon & Gray Society Banquet brings together individuals, families, businesses and the community supporters together for an evening to honor alumni, faculty, volunteers and teams, while doing something even more important: raising funds for important priorities in our schools. The Education Foundation seeks recommendations from district administrators on which priority area is selected as the beneficiary of proceeds from the Maroon & Gray event. Past beneficiaries have been the marching band and the Mental Health Matters initiative. For 2020, the Education Foundation, in partnership with the district, has chosen the Student Opportunity Grant Program. Continued on Pg. 4 www.scasdfoundation.org

New Biographies Collection Enhances Library Time at Spring Creek Last year, Spring Creek Elementary Librarian Brittany Snavely was the recipient of Student Opportunity Grant funds to purchase new books for the library’s biography collection. She now proudly has these titles on display, with lots of interest from her students. She sent in this update: We have a special area designated (right inside the door) as the location for our most recently added titles, so it is easy for our students to see the new books. What is wonderful about the many new titles we acquired through this grant is that they allow our students to learn about people who are similar to, as well as very different from themselves.
We have new books in this collection featuring a variety of famous men and women from history. Soon, I will be giving my 4th and 5th grade students the opportunity to do a “book-tasting,” during which they will be able to begin reading as many of these titles as possible during our library time together. The generosity of so many who made this possible is tremendously appreciated! l

Meeting Basic Needs to Maximize Learning Potential Easterly Parkway's Student Support Closet Will Provide Clothing and Toiletries In 1943, American psychologist Abraham Maslow suggested that humans have a hierarchy of needs, and that the most basic of these needs, such as food and clothing, must be satisfied before individuals can attend to higher needs, like learning. Carissa Walter, School Counselor at Easterly Parkway Elementary School, sees Maslow’s theory at work today in her students. “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs tells us that our basic and physiological needs must be adequately met before we can achieve anything else, therefore causing higher needs to be secondary,” Walter explains. “State College Area School District wants to prepare students for lifelong success through excellence in education. If children’s basic needs are not being met, they are not able to fully benefit from the excellent education our district provides,” Walter says. Walter was awarded $1,000 in the most recent round of the Education Foundation’s Student Opportunity Grants to fund her idea for helping to alleviate this pressing issue for students. Walter plans to open a student support closet to provide clothing and toiletries for students in need.

In her grant application Walter noted that many students don’t have access to clothes that fit, causing them to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. These feelings can result in students disengaging from classroom activities and from their peers.
If children's basic needs are not being met, they are not able to fully benefit from the excellent education our district provides.
The grant funds will help to fill the student support closet with clothing, such as shoes, socks, underwear, pants, shirts, and sweatshirts, as well as deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, and other essential toiletries. Walter acknowledges that other agencies in the community also provide these services, but she points out that sometimes families encounter barriers to receiving them. For example, long wait times and varying eligibility requirements between different agencies or programs can delay or prevent services. She also notes that language barriers that can prevent families from filling out the necessary paperwork. This issue may be especially prevalent at Easterly Parkway where 23% of students speak English as a second language. The goal for the student support closet, Walter says, is to help students fulfill their basic needs on a more immediate basis, and also to reach families who may not qualify for other assistance programs. “Since we are striving to be inclusive, it is our duty as a district to ensure that all students have what they need in order to learn and succeed,” Walter asserts. “By fulfilling the immediate and basic needs of students, we afford every student the ability to be fully engaged in learning.” l

Last spring, Radio Park Elementary School opened its Sensory Room, a room specifically designed to help students who have learning difficulties, developmental disabilities or sensory impairments learn to interact with the world around them, in a safe environment that builds up their confidence and their abilities. Filled with stimuli such as lights, tactile media, aromatherapy, balls, and more, the room allows students of all ages to explore and interact with the environment without risk.

Sensory rooms like the one at Radio Park have many purposes depending on each student. The benefits range from helping to improve fine and gross motor skills to providing comfort and calm for students with behavioral problems.

MakerCart Adds New Element to STEM Education at Grays Woods Elementary STEM rocks at Grays Woods Elementary! Jessica Jeffries, Grays Woods STEM teacher, says the school is fortunate to have a strong STEM program that has continued to grow. Many resources for engineering and robotics are available to teachers and students. This trend is continuing thanks to Jefferies’ efforts to secure Student Opportunity Fund Grants. Funds from this grant will add a MakerCart to the school’s STEM offerings. “By adding a cart with woodworking building supplies — drills, saws, hammers, etc. — we will be able to extend our model-making and design, as well as provide an additional learning opportunity for our students,” Jeffries explained.
Grays Woods students show off 3D printed items they designed with the help of a previous Student Opportunity grant.

#STEM ROCKS @ Grays Woods Elementary “Experiencing a craftsman trade in the elementary years can help to develop an interest in future woodworking and other trade skills. With a national focus on STEM-related careers, there is also a need to provide skilled trade education, even to our youngest learners.” The opportunities afforded by the MakerCart are seemingly endless! Jeffries envisions incorporating it into existing curriculum, such as building wooden labyrinth maze through which students can program robots to travel. It will also have many applications outside of the existing curriculum and can help solve problems within the school community. For example, need step stools in the kindergarten classroom? Need easels in art to display student creations? With the MakerCart, students can build them. l
The MakerCart is a maker's dream, with a wide array of tools, including: • a Dremel scroll saw
• quick clamps
• a cordless drill
• pull saws
• a drill bit set
• measuring tapes
• hammers
• an adjustable wrench

Mental Health Matters fund
Funding Update: Your Gifts at Work Mental Health Matters Fund Making a Direct & Immediate Impact If you follow the news in education, you’ll see a growing trend in prioritizing student mental health. An August 2019 article in Inside Higher Ed said, “More than 80 percent of top university executives say that mental health is more of a priority on campus than it was three years ago, according to a new report released by the American Council on Education.” Schools across the country are seeking to focus more resources on the emotional well-being of students in grades K-12. SCASD has been at the forefront of this movement for several years, creating initiatives around mental health across all grades and seeing the results of these State High's Student Senate & Student Government along with the My Mental Health Matters Student Club efforts in data collected through celebrated World Mental Health Day with a Green Out. the PA Youth Survey.

Bringing students together around mental health awareness The Integrated Mental Health Team, in partnership with the My Mental Health Matters student group, is collaborating to execute events that promote mental health awareness across K-12. Some examples of events at various age levels include: discussions with elementary students about sadness being a normal feeling that everyone experiences; and training for students on suicide prevention, including how to get help for yourself or for someone else.

Funding from the Education Foundation helps to secure important professional services for students in financial need.
Storytelling to create a positive mental health culture The Short Story Book Dispenser engages students and teachers within classrooms to discuss mental health, and write and share their own stories, in an effort to destigmatize mental health and help build a positive culture around the issue. The cost to have the dispenser at the high school and available for events throughout the district was split between the Education Foundation and the My Mental Health Matters Club, which will engage students to fundraise to cover its half. This project has the potential to create positive mental health awareness by encouraging students to journal, to share inspirational quotes and messages with their classmates, to discuss the stories they read, and in other ways.
