The APS Education Foundation celebrated 11 years of Selfless Seniors in 2019.

Photographer Frank Frost has partnered with the Foundation to recognize

seniors in high school who have selflessly given back to their communities,

usually without recognition or praise. These young adults have already made a

difference in their schools and neighborhoods and inspire their peers and all of

us to do the same.

Hello and thank you! Thanks to generous supporters and advocates like yourselves, the APS Education Foundation had some amazing accomplishments in the 2018-2019 school year. The Foundation awarded nearly $500,000 in grants, which helped classroom and school wide projects in fine arts, STEM, and literacy just to name a few. Also, these grants

helped fund after school programs, academic progress, and good attendance. So, as you can see your support does make a difference!

There is no substitute for obtaining a good education. Your support allows the Foundation to award teachers, schools, and districts additional funding to help students succeed. The students are our priority, so let’s do all we can

to ensure they have a great future. Remember, investing in our children will make our community and state a better place.

Thanks,

Joseph F. Varro Jr.

In the fall of 2018, Jennifer Bayley received a classroom grant for her initiative, “Blockbuster Bloxels & Osmo

Interactives: STEM Boost”. As a gifted education teacher, Ms. Bayley knew that new technologies that allow students to be creative would help meet both their academic and social needs.

Ms. Bayley writes, “During the 2018-2019 school year, I volunteered to work with many more students than are on my gifted education case

load. This was because I am committed to school-wide enrichment and to making sure all students have access to the services they need. Due to this, I went from teaching 20 students the previous year to teaching 60 students in 2018-19. This has been the most satisfying year I have spent as a teacher, and these grant materials were an enormous support.

The materials purchased through the APS Foundation’s generous support have resulted in extremely successful learning and collaboration experiences for my students. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness in affecting their lives so positively. The APS Foundation really is making a difference for our beautiful children.”

S T U D E N T I M P A C T A M A R I Z G A R C I A R O B OT I C S C H A M P I O N When Amariz Garcia entered the 6th grade at Garfield STEM Magnet Middle School, she barely spoke to anyone. Now a freshman at Valley High School she is active in various electives and activities including orchestra, ballet and wrestling and she enjoys all her classes. She is considered a bright, well-rounded student.

“She was in my robotics club for three years, and I’ve had the privilege to watch

her grow academically and socially,” said her former teacher Chaushie Forster of Garfield STEM Magnet Middle School. “She helped advocate for the robotics program and she was able to recruit girls into the program which is an absolute need. In 6th grade she was on a team that won a championship. She’s won, but also had some misses.”

Ms. Garcia said Mr. Forster stepped back and allowed the

students to think innovatively. She said, “I liked the creativity. We got to brainstorm on our own He didn’t do it all for us. Also, when we didn’t win, I learned how important it was to be prepared and organized. I learned a lot.”

Now focused on growing the robotics program, Mr. Forster aims to recruit more students like Ms. Garcia who would benefit from all that robotics provides. “We need to foster

our students into engineering careers, because that is where our future in New Mexico is in terms of growth.” He adds, “These programs are hard to fund, so I am grateful to all the Foundation donors who have made this possible.”

Who was the coolest teacher you had in high school? Who was the one that taught you the most? Now, who was the one that helped you figure out what you wanted to do and who you wanted to be after high school? Were they all the same teacher?

For the students in Mr. Sleeter’s class, the answer is yes. By providing project-

based learning opportunities with real world applications, Rick Sleeter is preparing his

students for the careers of tomorrow. He is engaging them each and every day, by discovering new worlds in ancient cultures. And he’s gotten his fellow teachers at Eldorado High School and all their students collaborating on these projects as well.

Eldorado High School won for Mr. Sleeter’s “Chaco

Canyon Project Based Learning” in which his students developed an app for the Chaco Canyon National Historic Park. Since his win, Mr. Sleeter used his Best In Class funding to build a maker’s lab. He was selected as a National

Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow, bringing new experiences and specialized training back to the school. This year, he is developing curriculum and working with his students as they learn 3D photography and modeling.

Walk through the halls of Del Norte High School and you may see Janet Saiers. She introduces herself to every new face she comes across and checks to make sure students and staff are having a good day. She picks up trash outside blown from the trashcan after lunch. In the front office, she stopped to say hello to a young 2nd grader and asked, “Will you be coming to Del Norte”?

Janet was part of the first full graduating class of Del Norte High School, in 1966. She notes that in the years that have passed, the neighborhoods have greatly changed, but students

continue to need support from their community in order to do well in school, graduate and find success after graduation. Through the AlumKnights, Janet works with a dedicated alumni association to provide recognition and appreciation to staff and teachers, scholarships to students, and so much more. They work to bridge the gap between the school and the community, by inviting corporate leaders to discuss career opportunities and by ensuring that all Knights, no matter of graduation year, feel a sense of strong community back at the Castle.

Before becoming a student at Del Norte, Janet was a student at Bel-Air Elementary School, Hodgin Elementary School, McKinley Middle School and Sandia High School. Understanding that students need support from alumni across the district in all grade levels, Janet has invested in the APS Education Foundation in both time and treasure. She credits her education through APS for her career at the City of Albuquerque. “Basically, everything I did as a planner for Parks & Recreation went back to something I learned when I was a student.” Never

forgetting how she was impacted by her education, she notes, “Teachers, counselors, coaches and other staff have so much to do, and they can’t do everything they want to do for their students because there simply isn’t enough time in the day.” Janet writes emails, researches, gets on the phone and works to ensure that Del Norte staff have the resources ready to provide new opportunities to students. “There are so many things we can choose to do with our time, so why not choose to make a difference?”

The entire CLA family is strong supporters of education in our communities. Supporting the APS Education Foundation allows CLA to add direct impact to the children of Albuquerque, who represent the future of our community.

Thank you to Shannon Barnhill, her team, and the Board of Directors for allowing CLA to be an active participant and supporter of the APS Educational Foundation. As a proud graduate of APS and a parent of a current APS student, the importance of this great organization cannot be understated.Raul J. Anaya, CPACLA Principal Valley Viking Class of 1998

The annual Gold Bar Gala raises dollars for innovative programs in APS schools funded through the APS Education Foundation’s grants programs. Presented in 2019

by Award Sponsors Comcast, RayLee Homes: A New Generation and Technology Integration

Group, the gala also serves to recognize outstanding individuals who have made an impact in

public education during their time as students and educators in our schools, including Selfless

Seniors and APS Hall of Honor inductees. The event culminated with the announcement of the

Best In Class winner, chosen by an online vote prior to the event. The Best In Class recipient

is a grantee who has improved student outcomes with their innovative program funded by

Foundation donors. In 2019, the Gold Bar Gala raised over $77,000 to spread the spark

of innovation to other schools in the 2019-20 school year.

Throughout the school year, the APS Education Foundation hosts Lunch & Learns

at APS schools that have received grant funding. These field trips to schools host a

small number of donors and community

partners allowing them to see their

investments with the Foundation in

action. Guests are able to meet with

administrators, staff, teachers and

students as well as members of the

Foundation Board of Directors to learn

more about new programs and projects,

to ask questions and to share ideas.

Since 2012, the Superintendent’s Cup, presented by B&D Industries, has raised needed funds for APS classroom and school grants by bringing together business

leaders from across the region for

a great game of golf. The 2018

Superintendent’s Cup hosted over 230 golfers and over 30 volunteers who

together raised over $76,000 for

the Foundation’s grant programs.

The Albuquerque Public Schools Education Foundation, with the support of the district, announces their Hall of Honor Inductees at the Gold Bar Gala. The Hall of Honor is now an annual recognition of the sustaining legacy of those who gave their careers to public education and made a difference in the lives of those they worked with. For more than a century, APS has been central to the growth of our community – in large part, thanks to the tireless contributions from those in schools and departments who went the extra mile to improve the lives of our students.

In 2019, Margaret Clark and David Ostrovitz were inducted into the APS Hall of Honor.

Albuquerque Public Schools has been served by a host of innovators, mentors and trailblazers that made a difference in the lives they touched. They continue to make a difference in the lives of students every day because of the changes they spearheaded to make the district a better place to work and learn.

In the 2018-19 school year, the Foundation launched a Grantee

Recognition Program. Utilizing a Foundation grant recipient, Sandia

High School’s Graphic Design Club created grant winner window decals

and t-shirts. This program was designed and created to provide the

grant recipients a chance to be recognized at their schools and in the

community. APS schools and departments who received a grant have

displayed grant award winner decals in their schools and have worn

their shirts with pride. The recognition program recognizes those who

were awarded funding from the Foundation for their innovative and

creative ideas. This program honors Achieve, Guhl, Horizon, Pepsi,

Success, and TIG Grant Winners.

In my eleven years as an APS student, I have been lucky enough to have had many incredible teachers who have designed innovative ways to keep students engaged and help them reach their full potential. As the daughter of an APS employee, I have also seen that the lack of funding and resources can often make it difficult for teachers to do their job to the best of their abilities. I’ve seen my mother often reach into her own pocket in order to design lessons that will truly be impactful

in the lives of her students, and I know she is not alone in this. Across APS, there are thousands of great teachers who are willing to do whatever it takes to help their students develop into strong and educated young men and women. Serving on the APS Education Foundation Board has only affirmed my views on the teachers and faculty of APS. In every grant cycle, I saw passionate teachers who had formulated incredible proposals, from incorporating modern technology like virtual reality into lesson plans to developing ways to take learning outdoors. More striking, however, was the accounts of students who described how grants funded by the Foundation have changed the course of their lives and helped them determine what they want to do in the future. The

Foundation has given these teachers with brilliant ideas the chance to put their plans into action. Without the support of the Foundation, most of these proposals would have been impossible.

The amazing teachers of APS have made me (along with thousands of other APS students) into the person I am today and the Foundation is making sure that all of the great teachers across the school district can keep making such profound differences in students’ lives. I am honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing organization and help make a difference in the lives of thousands of students.

ACTS OF SERVICE

The 180 Challenge Recalling the number of days in an average school year, the APS Education Foundation launched “The 180 Challenge” in June to raise both dollars and awareness. Technology Integration Group kicked off the campaign with a donation and asked the community to donate at least $20 to support the next school year’s grant programs. Donors from around the city made online donations, realizing that small donations add up to a big difference.

If you are interested in becoming a monthly donor, please visit our website and click “Donate.” You can choose to give monthly with as little as $20 a month. Monthly donors provide needed and consistent support to our educators, without even realizing they are making a positive impact each and every month.

“This was maybe the best project I’ve ever facilitated! It introduced students to a personality that was a genius, yet was easily accessible for their engagement. It encouraged creativity and critical thinking. The students were so excited to organize the activities. The results were based on rubrics with students demanding the best of

themselves. I am very thankful for the financial support - and the impetus associated with applying for a grant - to offer this opportunity to my students.”-Elementary School Teacher, 2018 Grant Recipient
