Once again, we had a wonderful Advisory Council luncheon meeting and catchup. Sharla updated us on the accomplishments of OSD students; very impressive. We heard from teachers who have received FOSD grants and solicited ideas for the future. Thank you to everyone who came.
Human Rights Speaker
As part of a larger study of Human Rights, FOSD funded an April presentation by Chanrithy Him. She spoke of her experience of the Killing Fields of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. The purpose of such presentations is to mobilize everyone in trying to prevent the repetition of such tragedies. Students learned a great deal.
Positive Behavior Instructional Support Program, 2016
Lindsay Jane’s proposal was awarded $500 to purchase incentives for students as part of a campus-wide program that recognizes safe, respectful, or responsible behavior. Started in the 2010-11 school year, and based on a nationally-known model, any staff member who sees a student demonstrating safe, respectful, or responsible behavior fills out and submits a “PAH! Paper”. Every full week of school, there is a drawing in each area: elementary, middle, and high school. PAH! Papers are randomly drawn, and the students receive small awards, such as gift cards, books, small toys or craft kits. On average; 70 students are recognized weekly through this program. At the end of the school year, one PAH! Paper is drawn from each area for larger awards, such as backpacks, flashing alarm clocks, sports equipment, etc. This program has been a huge success and is in its fourth year funded by FOSD.
ASL Spelling Bee
Kathleen Davis’s request for up to $605.31 for launching a Spelling Bee competition at OSD was funded. This project is intended to develop bilingual learning (ASL and English), improve independent reading and research skills, instill school spirit and a sense of community and demonstrate the value placed on ASL as a language.
