Boosterthon Updates
Parents, thank you all for your support of our Boosterthon. Because of your generosity, over $32,000 was pledged!! So far, we have collected 75% of all pledges. Keep them coming in so the 9 Smartboards can be purchased and we can complete our goal of having a Smartboard in every classroom at Bluebonnet!
Information about the Boosterthon Fun Run
This year, we will be using our profits to purchase technology tools for your student's classroom. Our goal is to have a Smartboard (an interactive whiteboard) in every classroom! Watch this video to see how Smartboards engage learners and improve instruction.
Interactive whiteboards affect learning in several ways, including raising the level of student engagement in a classroom, motivating students and promoting enthusiasm for learning. Interactive whiteboards support many different learning styles and are used in a variety of learning environments, including those catering to students with hearing and visual impairments. Research also indicates that notes taken on an interactive whiteboard can play a key role in the student review process, leading to higher levels of student attendance. In addition to the observed positive impacts on student learning, research shows that designing lessons around interactive whiteboards helps educators streamline their preparation, be more efficient in their Information integration and increase their productivity overall.
All extra money raised will be used to purchase additional instructional technology equipment for classrooms.
