The Foundation: • raises private funds to enhance educational opportunities for students - present and future - in Madison's public schools; • awards grants for creative and innovative projects which are not funded within the core school budget; • develops supportive relationships between the schools and community that enrich the education of children. Please visit www.fmps.org to donate on-line or to check endowment fund and challenge grant balances. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIESVolunteers Needed at Falk ElementaryYou can help our kids learn, and also help them feel cared-for by our community, by volunteering at Falk. We have a Vista volunteer this year to help coordinate volunteer work at Falk. Her name is Kaitlin Gaynor. Contact her by phone at 204-2207. Hobbyists: The after-school program is putting together after-school activities for the remainder of this school year. Do you have an interest you might share with Falk students? Perhaps you know how to knit, or dance, or speak a foreign language. A staff member will be with you to take care of discipline and administrative duties. Call Beth in Safe Haven (our on-site after-school program) at 204-2208 to discuss the possibilities. Tutors Needed at Toki Middle SchoolSchools of Hope is the Madison area’s most sustained effort in
eliminating the achievement gap amongst middle school students. As a program
that functions primarily on volunteer support, they are presently seeking
volunteers who would be willing to spend one hour a week with a student,
between the hours of 7:45 AM and 3:45 PM , tutoring in math and basic
literacy. Although it is only one hour out of your week, it is an hour
that the students can look forward to for the extra support they need
to succeed. Tutors Needed at Jefferson Middle SchoolJefferson Middle School is always looking for tutors, mentors, etc. Their coordinator for tutors is Layne Hammond-Champion, and she can be reached at 663-6427.
