Patsy Tate had a vision for a Visual Language Classroom at Walnut Springs and Rooster Springs elementary so she applied for an Innovative Teaching Grant. Because of you, and your support of DSEF, the program is up and running. On Friday, Patsy led a training for parents whose children are benefitting from core language boards that are designed to support all levels of early communication. Even homework backpacks were offered to parents so they can experience the benefits of core language boards at home.
Thank you for helping making the Visual Language Classroom possible!

Chick out this wonderful notice about the 2017-18 Student Leadership Grant, "Eggspert Learning"! Faculty advisor Sarah Chew
Dripping Springs ISD Education Foundation,
A sincere THANK YOU for supporting agriculture in our schools! Last year, eight third graders applied for and won a generous grant from the Dripping Springs ISD Education Foundation to build a chicken coop at Sycamore Springs Elementary. Their teacher, Mrs. Sarah Chew, previously helped manage the chicken coop at Walnut Springs Elementary. She knows how children can grow through raising animals and the importance of learning about where our food comes from.
The grant was enough for the kids to get a great start. They were able to leverage funds and find volunteers in our community to help them build a coop that would serve the elementary school for many years. Dripping Springs Ag Boosters donated $1,000 for the project. Urban Coop Company, owned and operated right here in Dripping Springs, provided more than $2,000 toward the cost of a coop kit. Dripping Springs 4-H offered hens, feed, and training for our students. And finally, Sycamore Springs Elementary PTA stepped in to cover the final costs.
I'm so grateful that our DSISD teachers and these groups support a well-rounded education for our kids. It truly takes a village, and having groups like Dripping Springs Education Foundation support the students and our amazing, dedicated teachers on these projects makes all the difference.
Today, a group of the grant writers constructed the coop with their families, Mrs. Chew, and other volunteers. It's beautiful, and it will be a great project for SSES third graders and the school as a whole. Thank you for being a part of this project. I know it will make an impact on our children. We are so grateful for the DSISD Education Foundation!
Thanks again,
Stacey Allison-Steinbach
This is what it looks like when a DSEF grant comes to fruition: DSHS Student Caitlyn Brack and Teacher, Sara Freeman delivered bags to Foster Village as the culmination of Caitlyn's grant. Great work Caitlyn!
