​Raise for Maize: Campaign for Dwankhozi

12/11/2017

 
Queen Anne Elementary has a partner school named Dwankhozi Primary School, located in Eastern Zambia. Raise for Maize is our annual campaign to raise funds to pay for food for students during the community's "Hungry Season."

The students of QAE want to raise this money by doing service for their friends and neighbors for a donation. Every penny we raise will go towards the purchase of food for Dwankhozi Primary School students. More information about Dwankhozi Hope Foundation can be found at http://www.dwankhozi-hope.org/  

Student leaders have talked to each class. Please make donations to the box in the School Office!

2017 Fund Drive - A Letter from Janine

12/7/2017

 
The annual QAE Fund Drive is on! This is your chance to help our school and its students. If you haven't seen it yet, here's the letter Principal Roy is including in our orange folders:

---

Dear QAE family,

The annual QAE Fund Drive has begun!

I’m writing today to ask you to make a special gift to support QAE students. Because you know, like I do, that school funding does not cover everything we want for our children.

Here’s what your gift to the Fund Drive will do . . .

Your gift will help fund three of the key specialists that make QAE such an incredible place for your child:
  • Our Counselor, who helps make QAE a safe space for every child
  • Our Reading Interventionist Teacher, who helps every child who needs it with a skill that’s more important every day
  • Our Math Interventionist Teacher, who helps with one of the most important building blocks for a child today

Additionally, you’ll help fund the Social Emotional Learning and Project Based Learning curriculum. On the back page of this letter I’ve included a list of all of the things your gift helps fund. It’s a long list.

I need to be clear. QAE does not receive funding for the three positions above. Unless you and the PTSA raise the money, these positions will not be filled.

So each year, an incredible group of people band together to help QAE provide a fantastic learning and growing experience for our children. The PTSA organizes the fund drive. As Principal, I do everything I can to support them – and you.

Because it’s your generosity that makes these incredible things possible for the students. It’s your generosity that provides for the people and programs that set our school – and your kids – apart.

Please send a gift, by December 15th, using the enclosed reply card or by going to:
https://qae.givingfuel.com/qae-ptsa-annual-fund-drive

Very appreciatively,

Janine Roy
Principal, QAE
