Projects Funded by WatersToday
With the current CPS budget situation, our kids are relying on WatersToday more than ever for the extras that make our school great. This year WatersToday was able to fund coach stipends and sports equipment and some pretty cool supplies for the arts, technology and science programs. In addition, WatersToday funds 100 percent of the ecology program, 50 percent of the music program, and recess and lunch supervision through Right-At-School allowing teachers more time for lesson preparation.

Sphero Robots
Learning is evolving. Students can give their Sphero robots orders with visual blocks representing code and immediately see the connection between the program they created and how the guts of Sphero work and react. Students can easily learn programming, complete hands-on activities and share creations with imagination as their only limit. These robots foster a love of robotics, coding and STEAM principles. |
Kid PX 3D
Our younger students can enjoy drawing and painting creativity to tell their stories and adventures on screen. Using a variety of animated costumes, kids can star in their own digital documentaries. Kids can easily create a 60-second animated short story all their own. |
Microscopes and Beakers
Our middle grade students were in desperate need of new microscopes and beakers to enhance their science learnings! |
Human Anatomy Model
Students can manipulate the inner workings of the human body as they build the models, gaining a deeper understanding of how organs and systems interact. |
Foss Weather and Water Kits
A good understanding of meteorology as an earth science isn't complete without an introduction to the physics and chemistry that drive weather. Understanding weather is more than reading a thermometer and recording air-pressure measurements. Students first learn about atoms and molecules, air masses, wind and heat transfer. Then they investigate phase chance and meteorology before looking more closely at the water cycle, ocean currents and climate.
