“Parents are Teach, Too!”

Redcliffe Elementary School

$500

Matching Funds Provided by

Ms. Rachel Creasy teaches five year old Kindergarten at Redcliffe Elementary School, located in southwestern Aiken County.  Ms. Creasy is seeking funding to help her student's parents become more involved in their children's education. Funds will be used to hold a workshop for parents of struggling children and to provide material kits to parents that include standard specific activities for parents and children to complete together.

Redcliffe Elementary has conducted this workshop for the past few years and has seen great results! Of students whose parents attend the workshop, all show marked gains in letter recognition, letter sounds, vocabulary, rhyming and number recognition versus those that did not attend the workshop.

Remember, if we can raise $250, URS will match the rest and over 50 students will have help developing skills for the foundation of their future learning and gain the confidence of early success in school.
