Friends of Baldwin Hills Elm. is fundraising
S.T.E.A.M. Enrichment Programs at Baldwin Hills Elementary
Who we are:
Baldwin Hills Elementary Pilot & Gifted High Ability Magnet (BHEP) has been propelling soaring scholars since 1943. BHEP is unique and has a reputation for being a gem among LAUSD schools because of our success educating African-American and Latino children. We believe there should not be a ceiling on achievement and that we can do more when given the autonomy to make decisions that directly impact the children we know so well and teach.
Our aim is to foster an academically rigorous, culturally responsive instructional setting that can propel our scholars to meet their limitless potentials. To meet this goal, we continue to solicit greater parent and community engagement and partnerships by increasing outreach efforts, implementing a STEAM centered curriculum utilizing project and problem-based learning while continuing to affirm who our students are and what they bring through employing culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogical practices, along with increasing staff collaboration around planning, assessment, curriculum and instruction through the establishment of professional learning communities (PLCs).
What we offer by way of STEAM:
· Online instructional programs to support personalized learning
via 1:1 iPads/laptops
· Brown Girls Code
· Critical thinking through chess instruction
· Yoga
· Dance/Theatre Arts
· Robotics
· Poetry (Getlit)
· Instrumental Music (Grades 4 & 5)
. Film Instruction (School News Program)
. Common Threads Afterschool cooking program
What we are seeking:
To provide our scholars and families access to 21st century instructional tools and ways of demonstrating understanding through the arts is a choice we are intentionally making, because our children deserve nothing less. This programming is not fully funded by the District and if we want to see these offerings for our community, we have to dedicate the funds to do so. We are looking to raise $150,000 to fund our STEAM offerings for the 2024-2025 academic year. Any amount you provide is appreciated!
We appreciate your support, knowing it takes parental and community engagement to make this happen.
