As we continue to develop and implement science curriculum that is laboratory based, we would like to have the option to recycle as many materials as possible. The current use of the plastic petri dishes are use and dispose. With these glass dishes, we can recycle the dishes year after year after year.
National Secondary Schools Writing Association Conference-Consultant Training
Funding will support the travel and training of 4-8 SHS Writing Center consultants at the National Conference of the Secondary Schools Writing Centers Association. These students will then return to SHS to implement and share ideas, practices, tools, and activities with our full consultant staff and all of the students through the SHS Writing Center.
Classroom Calculators
We are in need of a classroom set of calculators. Students are encouraged to have their own, but that is not always possible for families. Also, 8th graders may forget their personal calculator at home and need one for that day’s class period.

Fitness Development in K-3 Building: Rogue Fitness Folding Power Racks
In the gym at Pleasant Ridge we are dedicated to teaching our students about the benefits of a fitness based curriculum. With the introduction to many forms of exercise, our students are learning about what types of movements they can and will be completing for a lifetime for their own personal health and wellness. It is always our mission to give our students the necessary resources to complete these goals. With the addition of these Rogue Fitness Power Racks that will fold into the wall, we will be well on our way to completing our mission. Because of this, our unique K-3 environment will continue to meet the needs of all students and ability levels. These racks will be a huge upgrade over our current outdated pull up bars and will give us endless variability to what we are trying to accomplish from a station based fitness approach to teaching all students in our gym. I firmly believe that these racks will take our gym and the future of our students learning objectives in the gym, to the next level.
