Charlene reported on the Summer Kindersports program via email. Nine kids attended during the first 2-week session.
- SRF grant for early literacy
Joyce is preparing a grant application to Oregon Community Foundation, due 7/15/2015. It proposes funding a bi-lingual teaching assistant in order to expand the program to a bi-literate one, where kids whose first language is English and Spanish are both taught in both English and Spanish. She has also had preliminary discussions with Ford Family Foundation reps. There have been early conversations with our partners in the school district and SRF about the 2016 funding for early literacy. Some funding looks likely, but the exact way it will be calculated and distributed is still in flux.
Dorothy moved we support Joyce, Charlene, and Shirley’s efforts to secure funding to expand our preschool program into a bi-literate program. Roger seconded, Approved.
