Denver Lions making a difference

Denver Lions Support Two Schools That Have a High Percentage of Low Income Families/Students

Through our Denver Lions Foundation, the Social Services Committee contributed $106.51 to a project to provide books to an elementary school with diversity of subjects that are needed to encourage exposure to, and thinking about topics of importance in today’s world. We also contributed $60.28 to complete support of Technology for Intervention for a low income school where not all students have been able to access technology for learning in these challenging times.

Here are notes of gratitude from teachers in the schools. If anyone would like more specific information about these projects, it can be provided. Lion Myrna Ann

Dear Denver Lions Club,

Thank you so much for your incredible generosity! In our classroom, the first thing that we do every day after breakfast and our morning meeting is our literacy lesson! These rich texts will be used in conjunction with common core state standards to create ELA lessons for my students. After reading as a whole group, these books will become part of our library for students to read and retell to themselves as they look at the pictures!

These books will help to build an inclusive classroom setting for students of all ethnicities and backgrounds. In addition, if we use these books as part of our remote learning option for the upcoming school year, I will be able to use these books in digitally recorded lessons for my students!

One of the best feelings is seeing my students pick up a book that they loved during our reading lesson and engage with it not because they have to, but because they loved the book that much the first time! Thank you again, your donations are wonderfully appreciated!

With gratitude, Mrs. McReynolds

Dear Denver Lions Club,

There are not enough words to express my joy, gratitude, and thanks for your generous donations to my class project. Today this project was fully funded! My students are now going to be able to access their interventions with me as the new year begins. I can't wait to share your generosity with them.

With gratitude, Mrs. T
