Vocational and Media Technologies
Multi-Year Initiative

Following the successful completion of the LEF three-year Math/Science Initiative, where over $100,000 was awarded for math and science, the LEF is now focusing on Vocational and Media Technologies. These two areas have been identified as needing an infusion of support in order to launch them to the next level.

These Initiatives will benefit our community by adding vocational skills taught at the high school through an expanded construction program to better prepare our youth for the workforce, both those who will enter the job market following graduation, and those choosing to pursue post-secondary education.

Increasing the number of media options at the elementary schools will provide library books, including non-fiction and fiction basic readers, science and social studies books and books on tape. This will assist not only the 40% of the population on free and reduced lunch who may have limited access to books outside the school, but also promotes better reading skills for all of our elementary students.

At the middle school level, Science Fair projects are required of all students annually, and necessary up-to-date science research materials are essential. This Initiative will provide new resources for science experiments and additional laptop computers which will expand students’ research capabilities.

The Vocational and Media Technologies Initiative is our top priority. Our goal is to raise $45,000 to fund this project. Our second goal is to raise $35,000 for our Enrichment Grant Program.

Please consider contributing to the LEF and helping our students discover new ideas, create new projects, and have the resources to achieve their goals!
