Conquering those tricky r

and stubborn s sounds!
Technology and teaching combine to make a powerful impact in
speech and language development. Thank you to our generous
donors, Drs. Mavis Fletcher and Matt White, for funding the
purchase of laptops and articulation applications to serve as a
tool in the teaching process.

With vibrant pictures and sounds on a cool device, the app

engages students through personalized learning of targeted
words, with an option to record and playback to help improve self-
monitoring skills. One simple click and students have something
new to play and learn, all while reinforcing the instruction from the
classroom teacher and speech-language pathologist. Teachers have
observed rapid improvements and generalization of skills, which
has everyone saying s-u-c-c-e-s-s.

Grants
During 2016, the Westside Foundation gave $28,000 in grants to support educational programs in District 66. These grants encompass
a wide collection of enhanced learning experiences, which encourage a well-balanced lifestyle for students. The Foundation supports
these, and other projects throughout Westside Community Schools that would otherwise not be financed by the General Fund Budget.

Dancing Classrooms
Dancing Classrooms is a program at Rockbrook Elementary School through
Arts in Motion, which promotes respect, collaboration, and positive self-esteem
through ballroom dance. The Westside Foundation provided a grant that helps to
pay for the dance classes. This impacts all 5th grade students who participate in
the program, and also brings back former participants in the 6th grade to help,
and invites 4th graders to view the final performance. The curriculum focuses on
persuasive writing; students may choose to write a piece either to the upcoming
4th grade to help them prepare for their adventure to come, or to the Community
Club to thank them for their support. All together this program inspires a little
more than a quarter of the school population and helps to build more respectful
relationships.

Westside Clothing Closet

The Westside Community Schools Clothing Closet serves district families by
providing them with gently used clothing free of charge. The committee consists
of volunteers who collect, organize and maintain the closet. Pictured left, Chairman
Amy Brown, Andi Fisher and Brooke Dowse show off the closet to members of
the Westside Foundation. The Foundation helped the team by providing funds for
clothing racks and hangers to transform the space into an inviting zone for families.
Students in need are identified by school social workers, counselors and staff,
and all student identities are private. The main goal is to help kids feel good about
themselves, and to feel that not only are their needs met, but also that they are
being treated to a positive experience as well.

Choice Art
Inspired by the concept of choice art, several art teachers approached the
Westside Foundation for a grant that would set up several studios in art
classrooms across the district. The supplies provided by the grant helped to
establish studios in drawing, collage, painting, sculpture, architecture, fiber arts,
digital media and printmaking. Art teacher Jennifer Jurgensen described the
revitalized teaching method as a way for students to learn more about the creative
process and be able to resourcefully come up with their own unique ideas and
solutions to problems. Choice based studios allow students to become true
artists and have authentic, individual learning experiences in the art room.

CPR Training
Twenty-one states require their high school students to take CPR as a requirement
for graduation. Legislation has not yet passed in Nebraska, but it is expected
within the next five years. Due to the life saving advantages of having CPR skills,
Westside High School has taken charge by now providing CPR training to all
freshmen through the Healthy Living class. Recertification will be offered again
in two years for those students. A grant from the Westside Foundation provided
equipment and curriculum purchases, and covered the certification costs for the
2016-2017 school year.
6 Westside Foundation Annual Report 2016
VI-VI Show and Tell
During 2015, the Westside Foundation raised $175,000 from the VI-VI: Oh, the Places Well Go! fundraiser. In 2016 those funds continued to
be allocated toward innovative educational opportunities in every school. We are proud to show and tell a few highlights:
Project Eclipse
The Westside Foundation provided funds to Project Eclipse
a proposal to equip every student and staff member in District
66 with eye protection to safely view the solar eclipse on August
21st, 2017. The eclipse will be 98.58% full in the Omaha area,
and will be quite amazing to witness. Funds will also support
teachers with lesson plans and activities to teach students all
about the incredible sight they will see. Pictured above, Angela
Bergman and District 66 students pose with the special eye
protection that will be given out for the event. Project Eclipse will
have a massive impact across the district with every teacher and
student involved; expect a district-wide event celebrating this once
in a lifetime learning opportunity.
Paddock Road Tinker Lab
An Innovation Grant was provided to Paddock Road Elementary
School by the Westside Foundation to create a mini Do Space
in the library. Among the key features of the Tinker Lab are
workspaces that inspire personal and collaborative learning, such
as tables repurposed with whiteboard paint. Another feature is
innovation kits that allow students to explore their passions by
checking out kits on robotics, circuit building, architecture, knitting
& sewing, arts & crafts, reverse engineering and more. The goal of
the Tinker Lab is to provide all students with opportunities to grow
through enrichment, collaboration and personalized learning spaces.
Therman Statom Artist in Residence
The Westside High School art program has partnered with
Therman Statom and Kaneko for the Artist in Residence program,
provided by funds through the Westside Foundation. Therman
Statom is an artist who specializes in glass art and sculpting,
and his work is featured at major American and International
museums. Kaneko is an Omaha-based art and culture organization
that invests in creativity and its impact on society. Together
these artistic forces have been inspiring students to use their
creativity in all aspects of their lives, and also to impact the
Westside community. A hallmark concept of the project is to let
art live and breath at Westside. Therman Statom and Westside art
students are working to reimagine columns into works of art in the
Westside Courtyard cafeteria. The idea is for student art not to be
kept in a vacuum, but to reinvigorate the Westside Community.
Hydroponic Garden
The Garden Club at Rockbrook Elementary School initiated a
student-led experiment to bring a hydroponic garden to life. The
Westside Foundation provided funds for the sustainable garden
that was available for students who wanted to participate from
kindergarten through sixth grade. A hydroponic garden is an
alternative gardening method that grows plants without soil, through
an efficient and sustainable use of water and nutrients. Rockbrook
leadership and community partner Paradigm Gardens engaged
students in research, experimentation, and implementation of this
tangible, yet non-traditional method of gardening.
