Welcome to the blog of the Asheville City Schools Foundation.
There are several bits of news around the office:
-- The Listening to Our Teens Network recently adopted the PASA model (Providence After School Alliance) based in Providence, R.I. PASA was featured in George Lucas's Edutopia.org. Click here to watch the PASA video about this exceptional program.
-- Applications are now being accepted for the Foundation Innovators Fellows! The fellowship is a brand new professional development opportunity for ACS teachers brought to you by ACSF, ACS, and the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. Applications are due September 18, 2009 and the first cohort of Foundation Fellows will be selected in October. For an application, contact Kate Pett at acsf@acsf.org or download an application from the ACSF website, www.acsf.org.
-- Save the Date! Go Public! Celebration for Our City Schools will be held Thurs., Nov. 5th at the DoubleTree Hotel in Biltmore. Tickets are $20 in advance, and $25 at the door. Email acsf@acsf.org for tickets. Donations are also being accepted for the silent auction and raffle.
The Asheville City Schools Foundation promotes the educational success of all ACS students by engaging and mobilizing the entire community to support enriching and innovative educational activities. We accomplish this through six strategies: teacher project grants, teacher scholarships, student scholarships, community partnerships including placing Americorps*VISTAs in the Asheville community, volunteer academic coaches, and emergency assistance for students in need.
