Paso Robles Engagement Lab

Hope King, Wade King, and the Get Your Teach On team recently traveled to Winifred Pifer Elementary School in Paso Robles, CA, to surprise their teachers with an all-new Engagement Lab! This was done in collaboration with Mario Lopez and Access Hollywood as a way to support a very special school.

Read their application below:

“Winifred Pifer Elementary is a TK-5 school located in Paso Robles, California. Our school has approximately 400 students and the most caring and amazing staff! We are a Title 1 school with a high percentage of both homeless and foster students. Our staff works diligently to create a safe and fun environment for all of our students. We believe in the value of building relationships with our students and families so that they know they are a true partner in their educational journey. Our teachers and staff are always willing to go the extra mile to create joyful and meaningful learning opportunities for our students. Due to so many of our students coming to us having experienced trauma, we, as a staff, consistently strive to ensure our students know they are cared for and loved at school. Many of our teachers offer after school clubs, such as drama, choir, Lego Stem, art, robotics, and more. They do this to further engage our student’s love for learning. For many, being at school is the highlight of their day. An engagement lab at our school would enable us to further develop a love of learning for our students. We want their time at school to be meaningful and exciting as they make cross-curricular connections, see real-life applications, and find joy and purpose in their learning. Thank you for taking the time to consider our school.”
