TESTIMONIALS
The Pearce English Department is continually thankful for the generosity and support of the Pearce Excellence in Education Fund. Over the years, PEEF has allocated funds to extend the access to technology so our students can have a more engaged learning experience in the classroom through the purchase of additional laptops and tablets. These funds also allow for teachers at all grade levels to hold one-on-one writing conferences with students at different points through the year. While this is not a tangible item, the time it gives teachers one-on-one with students would not be possible otherwise. Teaching pedagogy tells us that giving students individual time and feedback will make a profound impact in their learning. We can’t begin to express our gratitude in having the time to put these writing conferences in place. Additionally, PEEF provides funds to allow teachers to attend professional development conferences that directly impact what they can bring to the students in the classroom. We have been able to send teachers to professional developments on Holocaust literature, the literature of the Harlem Renaissance, ABYDOS writing training, and many more valuable conferences. I am continually astounded by the support we get from our community and our stake holders, and we wouldn’t be where we are at Pearce High School without the support of the Pearce Excellence in Education Fund. Thank you for all that you do for our school!

SOS is about making sure that ALL students at Pearce don't have the option to sink or swim - we are going to make sure they all swim, first with our help and then successfully on their own! But as a new program, we would have sunk into oblivion without PEEF's generosity and support! We have been going four years strong now and have come full circle, with every student at Pearce now having experienced the program - this would never have been possible without PEEF. Every year, they ask, "What can we do for you?" and they work to make everything happen they can. We couldn't train our Lifeguards on our three-day retreat, teambuild with each quad so they are ready to lead their freshmen, or have any supplies for seniors or freshmen without what PEEF provides. Every year, we have watched unbelievably great senior leaders build relationships with our awesome freshmen in order to help them succeed in high school and beyond. Getting to see that happen is a privilege we would not have without PEEF. THANK YOU!

The Pearce Science Department really appreciates all of the support from the PEEF fund. This past year we were able to replace outdated AP Chemistry equipment with new technology as well as additional lab ware. We also received equipment to enhance instruction in our Astronomy classes. We are very excited about this year’s request for items such as Biology computer software, Chemistry lab ware, and environmental equipment used for lab and field work in AP Environmental science. The fund also provides opportunities for our teams to meet and develop innovative curriculum to increase student achievement in the classroom. With the help of PEEF we can be on the leading edge of new technology that will prepare our students with the tools they need for science technology in the 21st century.

A big thank you to the Excellence in Education Fund from all of us in the art department! Many of our art students are unable to afford the basic supply kits needed for the art courses we offer. Each year the fund graciously allocates money for us to buy essential consumable supplies for these students. Items like ebony pencils, erasers, and sets of colored pencils help us to motivate our kids to achieve and to produce creative work. Last year we were also able to purchase media equipment, items for our new photography class, and large individual canvases for the advanced classes – all things we otherwise would have had to do without.PEEF also makes it possible to keep the computer lab open and running before school each morning of the week. The lab is a quiet place for students to use the computers and printers (both color and black and white) and to study before school starts each morning. It is essential for our students who do not have a printer and/or computer at home as well as for those who need to finish up work before classes begin for the day. We appreciate the generous support PEEF continues to give to Pearce students and teachers.

The Excellence Fund began purchasing TI Navigator system for the Pearce Math Department 3 years ago. These systems proved to be extremely beneficial to our students and increased student achievement dramatically. The district saw the improvement and funded one for every other classroom at Pearce. Thanks to the Excellence Fund Pearce teachers were able to begin implementation and set the standard of classroom excellence and innovation once again. The fund also provided support for math teachers to attend the Teachers Teaching with Technology Convention in Dallas. At this conference we learned how new technology could be used to increase student achievement.
