August Englewood Flyer

Give with Target

This year, Target will give money to schools all over the country for one simple act: a vote. Our school needs just 25 votes to earn a $25 donation from Target. But that's only the beginning. For each additional vote, our school will get $1 more. So please remember that, although the gesture is small, the rewards are potentially huge. 
Go to GiveWith.Target.com to vote for Englewood Elementary School once a week through September 21 or until Target has given away all $5 million. And please tell your friends. 


Thanks,
Englewood Parent Club

Childcare Provided by SKEF

SKEF - Salem-Keizer Education Foundation will be providing childcare before and after school this year.   Dear Englewood Parents,             We have the opportunity to partner with the Salem-Keizer Education Foundation (SKEF) for before and after school child care next year. SKEF has operated Enrichment Academy (EA) for the past 10 years and worked in 22 schools last year. EA is academically aligned with the Salem-Keizer Public Schools’ strategic plan and is designed to inspire learning, keep kids safe, help working families and reduce hunger. EA is licensed by the State of Oregon Childcare Division and exceeds all division standards of care, health and safety.                            SKEF has been recognized for innovative use of best practice programs by the Lights On After school Hall of Fame and is the Oregon Ambassador for the National After School Alliance, promoting quality standards in after school programs. The National School Foundation Association calls SKEF one of the leading education foundations in the country and Education Northwest counts SKEF as a best-practice provider of after school programs.  Curriculum weaves together various subject areas. For example, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) comic book class might be offered using literacy-based instruction. A student might design a comic book based around a GPS geocaching treasure hunt or the adventures of a fantasy sports team. The experience teaches concepts such as story line and character development while integrating math, probability and statistics, and daily reading.  EA activities include literacy, leadership, health and wellness, Readers Theater, drama, chess, volleyball, wrestling, soccer and healthy cooking. EA also provides a school homework support programs staffed by AVID trained tutors. Other STEM offerings range from Lego Robotics and Kids invent to MOUSE Squad and Learning Gardens. Tuition is similar to your previous provider. You can Contact SKEF for registration information at (503)364-­2933.  We are very excited to have Salem-Keizer Education Foundation`s Enrichment Academy at our school next year as our official before and after school care provider. Please fee! free to contact SKEF’s Enrichment Academy Director Jodi Blackman directly with questions over the summer and we will be back at school August 12 to answer any questions.

Open House Night and The Costco Backpack Program

Costco has chosen to sponsor Englewood students to start the year.  Every Englewood student who attends our Open House September 3rd, 4-6pm will receive a backpack with assorted school supplies. They will also serve a hot dog, chips, granola bar and water to the first 600 students, parents and siblings.

The back packs will include: 1 zipper pouch, 2 pocket folders, 1 12” ruler, 1 eraser, 1 pair children scissors

The Costco Backpack Program is a nationwide program, started in 1993. Each warehouse identifies a local school to “adopt.”Employees then distribute new backpacks filled with supplies to each student in a chosen grade. Since 2005, more than 225,000 backpacks have been given away each year by Costco in the U.S.
