Celebration School is in the midst of a fund drive to raise $240,000.00 for instructional technology.  As technology has increased in the classroom over the years, Celebration School has fallen behind. 

There are three reasons why Celebration School is behind many other schools.  First, Celebration School does not qualify for federal funds since they do not have a large population of economically disadvantaged students.  Recently a school with Title I funds was able to purchase Interactive Boards for each teacher to use in the classroom.

Secondly, Celebration School does not qualify for many offered grants due to the community’s high socio-economic status, lack of diversity, and high performance rates.  Celebration School has been an “A” school for the past eight years. 

Lastly, the district can not provide technology funds since the State has consistently decreased all funding to the district.  This year the district is operating at $30, 000,000.00 less than two years ago.

The instructional technology currently being used in the classroom consists of the following: computer, projector, document camera, interactive board, classroom response system, interactive tablet, and audio enhancement system.  It can cost as much as $4,000 to equip a classroom effectively.  A technologically enhanced educational environment can engage the students, provide more time on-task, and ultimately increase learning.  Many of the schools which are advanced in technology are seeing an increase in their students’ scores and the overall school grade. 

Concerned parents and the administration have joined together to create a TechupK8 committee responsible for raising funds through activities such as the just-completed phone pledge drive.  The committee members will be visiting all the businesses in the Celebration community during the month of January to seek donations. Donations are also being sought from people who have either a personal or professional stake in the community. Recently, it was agreed that any funds generated from the Celebration Games to be held this February would go to the technology fund.  The committee website www.techupk8.org provides additional details regarding equipment needed, donor levels, and a list of what each teacher has in their classroom.

The school administration has signed an agreement with DirecTV4School.com in which $100 could be donated to the school by new sub-scribers and $50 will be donated by renewing a subscription.  All new and renewing subscribers would have to do is use the school code B2616.  If 1,000 homes would sign up for this program, we could have $50,000 given to the school each year for technology.   The best thing about it is that anyone, anywhere in the country can donate to the school simply by using the code. 

We, here at Celebration Florida Magazine, have also developed a program in which advertisers and subscribers to our services can generate support towards the school.  Numerous advertising packages are available that will generate monthly funds to Celebration School’s TechupK8 program.  For more information on how you can help Celebration School whilst maintaining page one rankings on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, call Fabio at 877-233-9052 ext 1.

Although Celebration School still has a long way to go, each step gets them closer to their goal.  Currently, they have raised $15,000 and have been able to purchase 15 document cameras.  That’s 15 more than they had before the initiation of the TeckupK8 program.  They are confident that through the support of the Celebration community and concerned individuals, they will reach their goal and be a school on the cutting edge of instructional technology.

When redecorating, you can just paint your walls the colors you want, and then you can be done. However, there are many other painting ideas out there that you can use to make your rooms special if you wish to do so. Many love to find new methods of adding various designs to the walls and originality to their home.

The best thing to do is to look for inspiration anywhere you can find it. You can find painting ideas in many places. For the more general interior painting ideas, it’s okay to look through magazines and books full of great looking interiors. There’s nothing wrong with stealing a look, though you may find that you want to give it your own personal touch. You may also come across a color or a combination in a friends’ home that seems like something you would love.

When it comes to choosing colors for interior painting ideas, you have to think about the personalities of each color in the rainbow. Darker red tends to give an elegant look, but the furniture has to be just right to pull it off. It can also give a room a serious look, and that doesn’t work in all rooms for all people. Yellow is often a happy color, but it might look better in a kitchen or in a bathroom rather than in the master bedroom. Thinking about what each color seems to imply can help deciding about which colors are under consideration for interior painting ideas.

You can also think about things like textures when considering interior painting ideas. There are ways to use two or three colors to come up with a textured look that might give a whole new dimension to a room. These can look very nice, and do well in rooms like the dining room and in the bedrooms, but they can do well in almost any room.

Sometimes these interior painting ideas are best left to a professional painter.  Professional painters can turn your painting ideas into a reality in a short period of time for a very reasonable price.  Professional painters also have the experience in these different painting techniques to complete them quickly and expertly.  Make your painting ideas a reality and call Victor for a free estimate!  Victor is a licensed and insured house painter with over 20 years experience in residential and commercial painting in Florida.  Call Victor today at 407-446-9568 or 321-388-1372 for your FREE estimate today!
