Dinner DancE
This year's Dinner Dance theme was Vanity Affair - A Glittering Gala! It was a super fun, elegant event, and all proceeds benefitted our Hillsborough public schools!
THANK YOU to EVERYONE who supported this event for our pubic schools: our fabulous Dinner Dance committee, event sponsors and donors, attendees, and HSF staff!
Some of you were unable to contribute to our Fund-A-Need earlier, so we have provided information and links below - THANK YOU!
FUND-A-NEED
Investing in Innovation: iLabs 2.0...This year’s Fund-A-Need takes our highly successful Innovation Lab program to the next level by starting a brand-new “Maker Space” for Crocker Middle School, extending iLab opportunities to our K-2 students, and updating our elementary schools’ iLab equipment. Why? A comprehensive K-8 iLab program allows HCSD to nurture a “Design Thinking” mindset in our children, arming our kids with critical thinking, engineering, and problem-solving skills to better address the challenges of the new millennium. Our iLabs give our students opportunities to create, collaborate, and engage in innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math - STEAM-based projects to become innovators and lifelong learners.
| $10,000: Enhance collaborative learning at Crocker with flexible furniture for the new Maker Space that supports active project-based learning | |
| $5,000: Stock a mobile iLab cart to allow K-2 students at an elementary school to engage in innovative STEAM-based projects | |
| $2,500: Purchase a new 3D printer or laser cutter for one of our iLabs to facilitate prototyping and creative hands-on solutions | |
| $1,000:Invest in woodworking materials and sewing machines for all our elementary iLabs | |
| $500: Support engineering explorations with new circuitry and microcontroller kits | |
| $300: Buy a robotics kit that works with our Chromebooks to help our students practice real-world programming skills | |
| $100: Get a power tool, like a drill or soldering iron, for tinkering and building |
