Why a local Target donated their school supply inventory to Impact on Education

En Español

It’s not often that a major retailer offers to donate their entire inventory of back-to-school supplies, but that’s exactly what the Target store in Superior, Colorado did last month. The store was remodeled after the Marshall Fire and ordered school supplies in anticipation of an early August reopening. Unfortunately they had to make room for Halloween merchandise when the store opened after school started and decide what to do with all of the school supplies.

A phone call from Shawn Stratton, the Target store manager, to Ari Gerzon-Kessler, Director of Parent and Family Partnerships with BVSD, led to Impact on Education accepting a donation of nearly $80,000 worth of brand-new school supplies.

Making sure the supplies went to those in need

Our initial conversations were focused on how to get the supplies into the hands of those who needed them the most, which would be difficult to do in a district with 56 schools and 30,000 students. In order to meet this goal we decided to open the first of three shopping days only for:

• McKinney-Vento Specialists who help students and families without stable housing,
• Community Liaisons who work to direct services to high needs students and families,
• staff and educators from the schools most impacted by the Marshall Fire, and
• educators who are new to BVSD

The educators who came through were incredibly grateful and excited to bring the supplies back to their classrooms and students.

“I collected the items that I consider helpful for kids when they start school, like pencils, pens, markers, notebooks, folders, and lunch boxes. Being able to provide these important items to students helps make their experience more exciting and enjoyable.”

Adriana Favila Humara, BVSD McKinney-Vento Specialist

Not including students who were displaced by the Marshall Fire, there are approximately 400 BVSD students that currently qualify for McKinney-Vento benefits, a federal program that serves students experiencing homelessness.

“We picked up a lot of school supplies, mostly for our classroom teachers, but we also grabbed some fun items for our school Giving Tree. Everything will be put in the hands of BVSD students, especially those most in need.”

Candace Garbow, Community Liaison at Fireside Elementary

Over 400 staff and educators came to our pop-up Target store over the course of three days. It’s no surprise that things moved quickly, with only composition notebooks left at the end, which we passed on to our partners at A Precious Child.

The people behind the scenes

It’s hard to visualize the space needed to store 22 pallets of school supplies until you peek into the delivery truck. Thankfully, the FOSS Center, located behind the BVSD Education Center, had some empty warehouse space for us to use, a critical piece of the puzzle!

In addition to Impact on Education staff and a few BVSD staff, we had 22 volunteers dedicate over 43 hours of their time to the donation. We all worked together to unload, organize and distribute the school supplies, creating an easy and fun experience for our shoppers.

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make this possible and want to give a special thanks to:

• Shawn Stratton, Store Manager at the Superior Target
• Lynn Gershman, Director of Academic Services at BVSD
• Suzanne Williamson, FOSS Center at BVSD
• Brad Cox, Aaron Huffman, Joel Johnson and Ryan Harter from the BVSD Warehouse
• Ali Cortez, Community Partnerships Manager with Impact on Education

While this project was unplanned and went beyond our daily work providing opportunities and eliminating barriers for BVSD students, we also knew that distributing learning tools directly supports our mission and helps expand what’s possible in education.

Por qué la tienda local de Target donó su inventario de útiles escolares a Impacto en la Educación

No es frecuente que un gran minorista ofrezca donar todo su inventario de útiles escolares para la vuelta a la escuela, pero eso es exactamente lo que hizo la tienda Target de Superior, Colorado, el mes pasado. La tienda fue remodelada después del Incendio Marshall e hizo un pedido de útiles escolares en anticipación de una reapertura temprana a principios de agosto. Desafortunadamente, tuvieron que hacer espacio para la mercancía de Halloween cuando la tienda abrió después del comienzo de las clases y decidir qué hacer con todos los útiles escolares.

Una llamada telefónica de Shawn Stratton, el gerente de la tienda Target, a Ari Gerzon-Kessler, director de Asociaciones de Padres y Familias del BVSD, hizo que Impacto en la Educación aceptara una donación de casi $80,000 en útiles escolares nuevos.

Asegurar que estos suministros lleguen a las personas necesitadas

Nuestras conversaciones iniciales se enfocaron en cómo hacer llegar los suministros a las manos de quienes más los necesitaban, lo que sería difícil de hacer en un distrito con 56 escuelas y 30,000 estudiantes. Para cumplir este objetivo, decidimos abrir el primero de los tres días de compras solo para:

• Los especialistas de McKinney-Vento que ayudan a los estudiantes y a las familias sin un hogar estable,
• Los enlaces comunitarios que trabajan para dirigir los servicios a los estudiantes y familias con grandes necesidades
• Personal y educadores de las escuelas más afectadas por el Incendio Marshall, y
• Educadores que son nuevos en el BVSD

Los educadores que vinieron estaban increíblemente agradecidos y emocionados de llevar los suministros a sus aulas y estudiantes.

“Recogí los artículos que considero útiles para los niños cuando empiezan la escuela, como lápices, bolígrafos, marcadores, cuadernos, carpetas y loncheras.  Poder proporcionar estos artículos importantes a los estudiantes ayuda a que su experiencia sea más emocionante y agradable.”

Adriana Favila Humara, especialista de McKinney-Vento del BVSD

Sin incluir a los estudiantes que fueron desplazados por el Incendio Marshall, hay aproximadamente 400 estudiantes del BVSD que actualmente califican para los beneficios de McKinney-Vento, un programa federal que sirve a los estudiantes que no tienen hogar.

“Recogimos muchos útiles escolares, sobre todo para nuestros maestros, pero también agarramos algunos artículos divertidos para nuestro Árbol de regalos de la escuela. Todo se pondrá en las manos de los estudiantes del BVSD, especialmente de los más necesitados.”

Candace Garbow, enlace comunitaria de la Escuela Primaria Fireside

Más de 400 empleados y educadores vinieron a nuestra tienda temporal de Target en el curso de tres días. Era de esperarse que las cosas se movieran rápidamente, y que al final solo quedaran cuadernos de composición, que pasamos a nuestros socios de A Precious Child.

Las personas detrás de la escena

Es difícil visualizar el espacio necesario para almacenar 22 tarimas de útiles escolares hasta que se echa un vistazo al camión de entrega.  Afortunadamente, el Centro FOSS, localizado detrás del Centro de Educación del BVSD, tenía un espacio de almacén vacío que podíamos usar, ¡una pieza crucial del rompecabezas!

Además del personal de Impacto en la Educación y algunos empleados del BVSD, tuvimos 22 voluntarios que dedicaron más de 43 horas de su tiempo a la donación.  Todos trabajamos juntos para descargar, organizar y distribuir los útiles escolares, creando una experiencia fácil y divertida para nuestros clientes.

Estamos muy agradecidos a todos los que ayudaron a hacer esto posible y queremos dar un reconocimiento especial a:

• Shawn Stratton, gerente de la tienda Target en Superior
• Lynn Gershman, directora de Servicios Académicos del BVSD
• Suzanne Williamson, Centro FOSS en el BVSD
• Brad Cox, Aaron Huffman, Joel Johnson y Ryan Harter del almacén del BVSD
• Ali Cortez, gestora de Asociaciones comunitarias de Impacto en la Educación

Si bien este proyecto no era parte de nuestro trabajo diario proporcionar importantes herramientas de aprendizaje a nuestros estudiantes apoya nuestra misión y expande lo que es posible en la educación.

BEFORE YOU GO …

Impact on Education is a nonprofit organization, and we depend on our community to help us put our mission into action. We need your help to to provide opportunity and resources to 30,000 students and 4,000 educators in the Boulder Valley School District.

There are many ways to support student learning

We received over 100 applications in the first round of our Academic Opportunity Fund this year and initial award decisions were shared earlier this month. Thanks to a wonderful team of 24 great readers, we’ve been able to fully or partially fund 73 of these applications, investing over $112,000 to support BVSD students. 

OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS

Our Academic Opportunity Fund provides funding to meet the needs of students, educators and classrooms across the district. From Cal-Wood scholarships to transportation expenses to software licenses, we fund a variety of requests that will enable students to engage in learning.

School-based tutoring for Adelante! students

Over 150 first-generation Latinx students at Boulder and Fairview High School have been disproportionately impacted by COVID and need support to get back on track. An Academic Opportunity Fund grant will pay for tutors to help students enrolled in the Adelante! Program during and after school. Adelante! encourages and inspires college and career readiness for first-generation and low-income students.

Tutors will offer personalized support based on student needs and will provide subject area tutoring and college application preparation. Adelante has a proven track record of re-engaging students in their pursuit of education and bolsters post-secondary readiness in the areas of college and career.

The need for tutoring and coaching to complete college and scholarship applications is particularly urgent at Boulder High School because the school has seen a dramatic increase in students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program and an increase in Latinx, mostly first-generation English speaking, students. Both schools have noted that there is a serious gap in pursuing higher education between the majority and minority student populations. The Adelante program has traditionally offered tutoring in addition to standardized test prep, essay reviews, workshops on filling out applications and scholarship applications.

Art therapy for middle school students

Like many schools across the district, Centennial Middle School has seen an increased need for mental health support. With limited mental health resources available their part-time school psychologist and school counselors asked for funding to bring a local art therapist to their students.

The funding will allow the school to engage the art therapist, providing an additional trusted adult for students, and support the purchase of supplies. This additional mental health support will help students interpret and express their emotions and thoughts so they’re better equipped to focus on learning at school.

Educational field trips

Young AmeriTowne is an award-winning educational program to help students learn about business and economics in a fun and hands-on way. 44 fourth graders at Alicia Sanchez Elementary are now able to take a field trip to Young AmeriTowne next spring.

Coal Creek fifth graders will participate in their annual field trip to Cal-Wood this school year. The school PTA subsidizes the class trip, but families are asked to contribute $100 per student. We’re covering this cost for 14 families for whom the $100 will be a hardship, 8 families in financial need and 6 families affected by the Marshall Fire.

Helping students develop their STEM identity

At Boulder High School, AP chemistry students have access to supplies like PH sensors and direct drop counters to develop their own experiments. In other chemistry courses that occur outside of block periods, the logistics of sharing these supplies in quick succession means that students who are not enrolled in AP level courses don’t have access to this experience.

Not all students will take AP level courses and the fees can be a barrier to participation for students in financial need. In order to offer similar learning opportunities to all students, we’re providing funding for chemistry supplies that will allow more students to develop their STEM identity by deepening their interaction with these concepts.

OUR CONTINUED SUPPORT

We’re still working with BVSD to gather additional information to make funding decisions on some remaining applications from our first round. We always verify the grants we disperse are aligned with District goals and standards and that we are not funding projects that can be met by District or other community resources.

We just opened our application for a second round and applications are due on Monday, November 14, 2022.

Working together to support BVSD schools

We hosted a Parent Partnership Summit last week and were thrilled to see so many schools in the Boulder Valley School District represented. This event brings together parent leaders from schools across the district to strengthen fundraising efforts and connect with other parent leaders to grow their impact in our schools.

Working together to support schools

PTO and PTA organizations across BVSD provide important resources to supplement the educational experience for students and help build community. Impact on Education convenes the leaders of these organizations each year to ensure they know how we can support their efforts and how we work each day to support the students and educators at their school.

After a brief update on our programs and recent happenings, we shared this new video about how we are supporting the mental health of BVSD students affected by the Marshall Fire.

An important part of supporting schools is making sure all families are included. To support parent leaders, we invited representatives from the NAACP Boulder County Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Collaborative to share resources and ideas for implementing or strengthening school DEI committees.

An update from the BVSD Superintendent

In addition to presenting information on and answering questions about the BVSD Facilities Critical Needs Plan and the All Together for All Students strategic plan, Dr. Anderson also spent over an hour with us discussing pressing current issues in the district including

• the labor shortage affecting special education and transportation
• safety and security in the district, including a debrief on the Fairview High School threat
• declining enrollment
• math acceleration pathways

We’re grateful that Dr. Anderson was able to spend so much time with BVSD’s parent leaders at the summit to share important and timely updates and answer questions.

Investing in our schools is investing in our children and our communities

Where students learn matters. In Colorado, without adequate state funding, school districts are on their own to provide and maintain the schools where students and teachers do their essential work everyday. This fall Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is asking our community to invest in improving schools across the district. The only way for BVSD to address the critical needs included in ballot measure 5A is by asking our taxpayers — our community — for help.

The $350 million property tax increase asks property owners to invest approximately $118 per year, or $9.83 a month, for each $600,000 of home value. While the ballot is crowded with tax measures this year, it’s important to support ballot issue 5A this year because our buildings are aging and require immediate maintenance to extend their useful life, and new home construction at the northeastern edge of our district will lead to overcrowded and inequitable classrooms if we fail to act. 

Perhaps the most exciting projects included in measure 5A, however, are the proposed investments that will provide BVSD students with quality skills-based learning experiences. The Boulder Chamber identified workforce development as a priority need for local employers and BVSD’s Facilities Critical Needs Plan would include renovating our middle and high schools to offer innovative classrooms and learning laboratories that will ensure our graduates are equipped for postsecondary success. 

What’s included in Ballot Measure 5A

Renovating buildings to better prepare students for their futures – 15%

BVSD is ready to transform the student experience in college and career preparedness. Proposed renovations at PK-8, middle, and high schools will expand or create flexible, agile spaces where students can experience industry-inspired environments with the latest equipment, helping them acquire valuable technical skills along with the real-world, hands-on experiences that lead to high-wage and high-growth jobs that are in high demand. Allowing students to build their own path to success is important, and GradPlus enables a skills-based curriculum where students don’t have to choose between learning a skilled trade or further academic pursuits.

Critical maintenance, facility improvements, rebuilding New Vista High – 68.9%

Measure 5A also represents the District’s highest priority building needs that must be addressed in the next four years in order to optimize taxpayer investments. Nearly 60% of the buildings in BVSD are over 40 years old and the cost of current critical building needs, recommended by the Capital Improvement Plan Review Committee, will only increase if the measure does not pass. Plans also call for the 70-year old New Vista High School building to be replaced.

Relieving overcrowding in schools – 13.8%

The only BVSD school in Erie, Meadowlark PK-8, is at 100% capacity in grades PK-5. Development that’s already under construction in the area requires a plan to address enrollment growth before it’s a crisis. Building a second elementary school in Erie will accommodate new students and relieve overcrowding in other district schools, which leads to inequitable classrooms and learning experiences.

Improving ADA access on playgrounds – 2.3%

So that students of all physical abilities can benefit from play and exercise, playground mulch on a number of elementary playgrounds would be replaced with rubberized solid surfaces that are wheelchair friendly.

Vote yes on 5A

Public schools are a pillar of local cities and towns, providing an important thread in the social fabric of our community. It’s difficult to imagine our neighborhoods without their local schools – critical infrastructure that enables learning, social connections, and student growth and achievement to take place. In order to positively impact our economy and community we must educate our youth, facilitate avenues for careers, and provide safe facilities for learning. 

Voting yes on 5A is a vote for public education.

Our partnership with BVSD prepared more students for Kindergarten

One of the magical ingredients to our work is our partnership with the Boulder Valley School District. We’re much stronger when we work together, and our Kinder Bridge program is a prime example.

Why we became a champion for early learning

Preparing students for that all-important first year of formal schooling allows us to address opportunity gaps facing our youngest learners. The BVSD community is diverse in many ways, welcoming students from different races, cultures, economic and family backgrounds.

Because we know school readiness can impact everything from reading at grade level to graduating high school to being career ready later in life, Impact on Education partnered with Boulder Housing Partners over six years ago to start offering a summer program that provided high quality early learning experiences to preschool age students heading to BVSD. In 2022 this program was woven into BVSD’s summer learning, allowing us to serve four times the number of students and provide 50% more instructional hours.

What Kinder Bridge offers students

This past summer, 170 rising Kindergarten students with identified risk factors participated in our Kinder Bridge program. These students wouldn’t have otherwise had access to summer preschool and would have arrived in our kindergarten classrooms less prepared than their peers. The new partnership allowed us to:

• Increase the number of students served, enrolling 170 preschoolers from 30 schools at three sites in Boulder and Lafayette
• Enroll 40% Free and Reduced Price Meals (FRPM) students
• Provide BVSD transportation to make the program accessible to all students
• Double instructional hours, providing 80 hours of instruction focusing on letter recognition, counting, letter sound formation and recognition, name-writing, executive functioning and social emotional skills

The impact of the 2022 Kinder Bridge program

While many students were already demonstrating Kindergarten-level behaviors at the beginning of the summer, all students saw growth on the BVSD TS-Gold Kindergarten Readiness Assessment, and 65% left the program within the expected range of a kindergartener one month into the school year. The greatest gains were in identifying letter-sound correspondences and taking care of their own needs appropriately.

Class attendance averaged 86% across the three sites and 92% of families indicated plans to enroll their students in BVSD Kindergarten.

Looking ahead to 2023 we’ll continue working closely and proactively with BVSD to improve and enroll students in our Kinder Bridge program.

*The BVSD TS-Gold Kindergarten Readiness Assessment measures literacy/letter recognition, numeracy/number recognition and counting, and executive functioning skills necessary to engage productively and positively in a kindergarten class.

Local elementary teachers go the extra yard

Check out more photos on Facebook >>

Each year, we partner with the College Football Playoff Foundation to recognize educators going the extra yard in the Boulder Valley School District. The Extra Yard for Teachers Award honors great educators and reminds teachers across the country that they are valued and respected.

The impact of this year’s awardees

Two educators with Louisville Elementary School, Nicole Duster and Caroline Fassora, were honored this year with the Extra Yard for Teachers Award. Nicole and Caroline go the extra yard for their students in many ways, but we’re sharing two ways they support equity and opportunity for all students at Louisville Elementary. 

When students live within a mile of Louisville Elementary they cannot take a BVSD bus to school, but they don’t always have a safe and reliable way to get to school. Nicole and Caroline worked with RTD to coordinate transportation via RTD’s FlexRide, funded by Impact on Education, to remove this obstacle for at-risk students and their families, leading to increased attendance rates. 

They’ve also done extensive work building Louisville Elementary’s Families and Educators Together (FET), a team of educators and family members partnering together to create a more inclusive community to support the well-being of all students and families. FET helps foster cross-cultural learning, encourages meaningful dialogue, and equips families who are historically under-represented to advocate for their childrens’ education. Most recently, Nicole helped coordinate child care at FET meetings across the district to enable more families to be able to attend and fully participate.

Two special celebrations

On Tuesday, September 20, Louisville Elementary hosted University of Colorado spirit squad, and of course, Chip, to celebrate Nicole and Caroline and present a $1000 check to support their work. The awardees were also honored on the field during halftime at the CU Buffs football game on Saturday, September 24 and received an additional $7,000 check for Impact on Education to continue to support the needs at Louisville Elementary and other BVSD schools.

Shane Co: A local jeweler dedicated to education

Many of you know the iconic radio commercials, but did you know that Shane Co. has strong Colorado roots and a passion for education? Our partnership is built on shared values and a desire to support our local communities.

A devastated community leads to a new partnership

With two retail stores in Colorado and both Tom and Rordan Shane as alumni of the University of Colorado Boulder, the Boulder area has special meaning to the Shane Co. family. When the Marshall Fire devastated the Louisville and Superior communities, they reached out to see how they could help support students, staff and their families impacted by the fire. With their dedication to giving back to local schools and students in need, our organization values are strongly aligned with Shane Co.’s philanthropic values, and they made a gift to support our Marshall Fire response.

Being able to support communities at the local level is important to Shane Co. and a leading factor of why they see education as common ground for giving back. They also believe that by providing equal opportunities to all students will allow them to have a part, no matter how small it may be, in the fight for equitable learning. 

Why education is important to Shane Co.

Over the last several years, Shane Co. has been committed to supporting underserved kids and under-resourced schools in our local communities through the Kids-In-Need Foundation. Supporting education and equitable learning reflects the strong core values and family focus that is the foundation for the success of Shane Co., a fourth-generation company. 

Shane Co. believes the fight against racial injustice starts with education. 

Their regional partnerships with Kids In Need Foundation further aims to create equitable learning environments by supporting schools where the demographic is primarily composed of students who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. 

Similarly, Impact on Education is committed to equalizing opportunity in education across racial and socioeconomic lines. We understand how important education is in determining a child’s future, and we work every day to ensure all Boulder Valley students have a bright path forward.

A little more about Shane Co.

Since 1929, and for four generations, the Shane family has been dedicated to helping their customers with their biggest life moments: proposals, anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, and more. Tom Shane and his son, Rordan Shane, are carrying on their family’s legacy as your trusted jeweler and friend in the jewelry business. Shane Co. has deep roots in Colorado, with Shane Co. stores in the Front range area for over 50 years, and Tom and Rordan Shane both graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder.

8,000 students provided with essential school supplies

Preschoolers returned to classrooms today, which means every school across Boulder Valley School District is filled with students, educators and staff eagerly anticipating the school year ahead.

Helping families in need

An important first step to the school year is ensuring every student starts the year with the supplies they need to be successful. In partnership with the St. Vrain Valley Schools Foundation and our Title Sponsor, Western Disposal Services, we helped over 8,000 students facing financial hardship through our Crayons to Calculators school supply distribution. Students across the Boulder Valley School District and St. Vrain Valley School District received grade-level appropriate school supplies, backpacks and headphones.

Ensuring every student has access to school supplies creates equitable classrooms across all grade-levels.

Our community stepped in to help

We’re pleased to share that our Crayons to Calculators Community Challenge exceeded its goal of raising 10% of the $250,000 program cost. Many local organizations worked hard to gather donations and thanks to these supporters and our program sponsors, we’re proud to support a strong start to the year for all students.

There’s still time to support back-to-school! You can make a gift toward our Community Challenge fundraiser through September 7.
