We would like our students to participate in a hands on science exploration. Expora! offers this opportunity. The students will have a classroom exploration which will allow them the opportunity to build a car with electricity which covers our science standards. The standards that are being covered are electricity and magnetism. The students will then be able to participate in real life applications of the concepts they have learned in the classroom.

Thank you for considering our proposal for Explora. This is a great opportunity for many children who are unable to commute to Albuquerque with their families.

Curriculum Resources

Atalaya Elementary School

Quaver Music Curriculum is the district's music curriculum and use this curriculum with all students. There was only enough funding, however, from the district to purchase K-4. For the past several years I have used PreK & 5th grade resources to complete the curriulum and find these resources to be extremely helpful and valuable in my teaching and students' learning. I would be very happy to receive funding to continue using these resources throughout the year! The current subscription expires in December. I would like to renew at that time to have those resources available January - the renewal fee for a year is $607.25.

Thank you for considering this!

Salazar Elementary School Garden

Salazar Elementary School

This request is for enrichment materials for Salazar's sustainability and garden program. So often in the school year we have to abandon our garden program because of the cold weather. These supplies will revitalize the green house and provide indoor opportunities for students to explore during those frigid months.

The funding will go toward purchasing new hoop house plastic, grow lights, planter boxes, seed, and soil. Thank-you for your consideration.

She Who Shaped New Mexico

The International Women's Forum of New Mexico is asking for support in the amount of $2,000 to help New Mexico Historic Women Marker initiative with educational outreach for grades Kindergarten through twelfth grade in Santa Fe Public Schools.

We map the stories of the courageous women who shaped New Mexico and its culture. Through our historical markers, we educate, inspire and empower new generations of women who travel our roads. The website is an easily accessible learning tool and available to anyone free of charge. These funds will help expand our audience and share curriculums which we are developing. Our goal is to share inspiring stories of women who have helped shape New Mexico to inspire future generations to make a positive impact in our communities.
