Thank you to these QCUSD Schools and their PTO's that participated in this year's 100% Awareness Campaign.  The goal of this campaign is to increase awareness about the Foundation at our schools, and with our parents, students and teachers.  Ultimately this awareness encourages more teachers to apply for grants, more students to apply for scholarships and allows us to generate more funds for scholarships and grants.  For a first-year effort, the response was phenomenal!

Mrs. Okonowski said; “It will give the students a variety of ways to learn the curriculum. They also will learn different objectives in each lesson. Each lesson will have reading, writing, math, thinking, following directions, social studies, science, and learning to work together, which is an important life skill.”
