  • Dear Wonderful Foundation,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity you gave me to study at Columbia. I learned so much. I can't wait to share what I learned with East Side Staff and students. I don't know what we would do without our super supportive Foundation! Love,
    Amy Cardwell

  • Dear Foundation Parents,
    We are so excited about all of the books and materials we received for our new Reading Workshop program!  We have all learned so much from the training sessions and the books we have been reading and can't wait to begin using this model with our students.  We truly appreciate all you do to support East Side teachers.  We couldn't do it without you! 
         Sincerely, The Kindergarten Team

  • "THANK YOU for approving the grant for the Bare Books. The first grade team
    is so excited about this project, and the kids are looking forward to
    publishing their work! The Foundation here at East Side is so amazing, and
    that's one of the reasons why I am happy to support the teacher auction each
    year. I genuinely appreciate everything that you do for the community,
    staff, and most importantly, the students of East Side.  Thanks again for
    truly filling my bucket"
