What is the Educational Support Committee?
The Educational Support Committee works with staff and external organizations to provide several after & during school enrichment programs that complement classroom curriculum and enhance the student experience.
With this in mind, Bonny Slope Community Organization sponsors a wide range of activities to enrich the students’ curriculum:
Artist in Residence
Each year we will select a visual, performing or literary artist to guide students through multiple sessions to produce a unique ‘work of art’. Volunteer responsibilities include researching & scheduling visiting artist and managing community grants. Most work can be done from home in the early and late part of school year.
Hands-On Science Classes
All K-5 classes will have a guest instructor from OMSI, Audubon Society or Evergreen Aviation Museum provide a hands-on opportunity to further the exploration of their science curriculum. Responsibilities include communicating with teachers & supplier for scheduling. Most work can be done from home in the first month of school.
Grants for Teachers
To encourage creative programs for our children, Bonny Slope Community Organization (BSCO) money is set aside for classroom teachers & specialists to apply for special projects not provided for in the school budget. Applications are reviewed by principal, BSCO Board & one member of this committee. If approved, this committee may work with teacher to fulfill request. Work will be performed as needed throughout the year.
