State of the Art Classroom Learning Tools Explained at CSF Fundraiser

April 29, 2017 by Inside Press

Middle school students from Seven Bridges Middle School demonstrate projects from the STEAM curriculum.

April 28, 2017  Briarcliff Manor— Donations and grants to the Chappaqua School Foundation (CSF) provide funding for special projects that can otherwise be well out of reach of the Chappaqua Central School District’s budget; the CSF’s annual gala has thus always been vital to gathering support from parents inside the Chappaqua Central School District. This year, as in past years, a group of kids who have benefited were on hand inside the Trump National Golf Club to enthusiastically show hundreds of attendees all that they and their classmates are learning–thanks to these purchases. For more information about the Chappaqua School Foundation, visit www.chappaquaschoolfoundation.org

These included a drone, and also a prosthetic in progress, according to inventor Katie, who pursued the project on behalf of her mom who was born with one missing limb. According to Greeley Science teacher Mike DeBellis, the robotics tools and parts were possible thanks to a $2500 CSF grant.

Innovation and Creativity Celebrated at Festive Chappaqua School Foundation Fundraiser

April 30, 2014 by The Inside Press

If a picture is worth a thousand words, can you imagine what a newly printed, three dimensional “picture” is worth? Or an exuberant a capella rendition of John Legend’s “All of Me,” and a robotic car steered across a table? All of these are,  in a word, priceless, and are brought to our community with the help of the Chappaqua School Foundation.

This past Friday night’s benefit offered firsthand glimpses of the impact that funding from CSF has on our children. Students of all ages engaged observers with their sincere and captivating presentations, including a fourth grader’s introduction of “MindUP” strategies for learning, sixth grade demonstrations of 3-D designing, high school robotics lessons, and a sampling of “Peaceful Playgrounds” from kindergarten through fourth grade.

Dr. Lyn McKay, Superintendent of the Chappaqua School District, remarked that, as standardized tests are being graded, it would be wonderful to be able to include the enthusiasm and level of engagement of the children taking part in these enriching activities.

Around 500 community members enjoyed a delicious buffet and wide variety of generously donated items for the silent auction. Laughter, smiles, and all around good cheer were observed in abundance, as the “village” that raises our children came together.
