The Flagler-Palm Coast Kiwanis Club recently made several donations to help support students at Flagler Schools:
$13,000 towards Belle Terre Elementary playground
A covered playground will serve over 1,600 children at Belle Terre Elementary School. The fundraising for the first phase of the project ($54,000) is being met by several efforts. Ed and Theresa Wolff, teachers at BTES, instituted a “Play 4 10” fundraiser at the beginning of the 2021 school year.
$5,000 toward Buddy Taylor Middle positive behavior rewards app
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports are being implemented in every school in the district to decrease discipline and behaviors and increase positive outcomes.
Students can earn points throughout the school day, which can be used to purchase items in the school store or for other rewards.
Buddy Taylor Middle School's goal is to decrease students involved in a suspended referral event by 10% and decrease schoolwide referrals.
$4,000 toward Carver Foundation for building extension
The completed improvements at the G.W. Carver Center will provide adequate restroom facilities, new office space and meeting-training rooms to grow programs, such as parenting, nutrition, dance, other community meetings and adult classes including summer camps.
The existing second floor of the gym houses the Road to Success program. There are two usable rooms below that where there are some games and a computer room for students to work on schoolwork or adults to access job searches, etc. Other types of classes generally are not able to work unless the gym is not in use because of the noise and space. The new classrooms will be apart from the gym and provide a quiet space for many uses. The Road to Success will also be able to use some of the room for certain classes.
$4,000 for Rymfire Elementary's Boys & Girls Club
This funding helps youth access educational programs and services at the Rymfire Boys & Girls Club, located at Rymfire Elementary School. Most of the youth served by the club are in zip codes identified as "high risk" by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. Less than 5% of the clubs's revenue comes from membership and transportation dues, but no child is ever turned away for their inability to pay.
