ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Elementary education forms the foundation for gaining basic knowledge without which
the dreams of children will become impossible. Generous donations from parents,
community members and corporate sponsors have allowed PEF to support:
Music
Library Aides
Early music education has shown to improve academic performance and broadens a student's under-
standing of the world around them. Music is part of a well-rounded education essential for a stu-
dent's social and emotional well-being and provides an outlet for creativity that is crucial to a child's
development.
Research studies have produced clear evidence that school library programs staffed by qualified
school librarians have a positive impact on student academic achievement. Librarians provide a safe
haven for all studens to think, create, share and grow. They help build strong students and lifelong
readers.
Physical Education
Certified PE teachers work with students daily by promoting a healthy lifestyle which also improves
self-discipline, self-esteem and academic performance. Daily PE is an integral part of student
wellness.
