Dear Generous Foundation Donors,
I am honored and grateful to have received a grant this year through the SPS Foundation. This money will go towards providing new scripts for classroom reading and building materials which the students will use for their creative design projects. I will use these materials for all seven of my classes, which is nearly 200 students. This makes a huge impact on our classroom and promotes teamwork, creative problem solving and a positive classroom experience. Thank you for your generous donation, we appreciate everything you do for our students and schools!
Sincerely,
Dustina Thomas
Glendale Drama 2022-23

I had Ms.Spence as a teacher and she was AMAZING she was always so understanding she was the kind of teacher you can really trust and she is a best friend to all of her students . Overall an amazing teacher she helped me for then any other teacher even has and she was always so sweet . If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have even picked up a book this year but now I’m in the middle of a series and I love reading .
Bobbi Beard is so knowledgeable and a blessing to every child she meets and teaches at Weller. I am blessed to be her teaching partner for 10 years. I am better for knowing her ❤️
Bobbi Beard is passionate for teaching children to read! We are honored to have her part of the Weller team!
Congratulations to each recipient and thank you to the Turner family for making this award possible!
