Sixth Grade Funding

I am requesting $1,000 in funding for the 6th grade to help with many of the basic needs of our students.

This funding will go towards several different areas of the 6th grade, and include but are not limited to snacks for low income students, flexible seating, options for those with attention deficits, field trip coverage for those students who can't afford to go, new sets of aga appropriate books, and subscriptions to online resources for the classroom.

School Garden

Nina Otero Community School

I am an NEA Equity/Social Justice Fellow this year and my project is to start a school garden. I am working with the various offices within SFPS, but there is no funding for such a project. The first thing needed is a permit fence, to keep it contained and safe. The next big item needed is a small green house....

I am hoping to create a venue that supports cross-grade collaboration, and eventually brings in parents and other community members. it will be a multi-year project, for sure!

Thank you.

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.

Volunteer Background Check Assistance

As the SFPS Volunteer Coordinator, and in an effort to encourage a more diverse volunteer population, I would like to offer paid background fees for up to 50 volunteer applicants to distributed throughout 5 different schools within the Santa Fe Public School District.
