Given that we have received positive feedback on both Big Ideas, we propose to SPLIT the $12,200 into two funds for Crocker Farm:

#1 The Infrastructure Fund will be used to make improvements to the indoor and outdoor environment of the school. This would include some combination of the following: brightening up the interior doors and walls of the school with new paint and positive messages, creating a sensory path hallway, building a recess shed stocked with a variety of balls, jump ropes, and other fun recess activities, building a GaGa Ball Pit*, and purchasing soccer goals, a giant chess set, and/or a kickball backstop for the lower field.

#2 The Social Justice and Equity Fund will be used to implement the work of the Social Justice Committee, which is made up of teachers and parents at Crocker Farm who are working on an action plan for expanding equity and inclusion to the full Crocker Farm community. This would include some combination of the following: hosting Crocker Farm family and community events, building partnerships with other community organizations, purchasing books and materials that reflect the diversity of the Crocker Farm community, and supporting continued implementation of the Teaching Tolerance Anti-Bias Framework and Equity Literacy Framework.

*We heard loud and clear that a lot of families are excited about a GaGa Ball Pit. This would need one or more parent champions to take the lead on planning and construction. Email us at CrockerFarmPGO@gmail.com if you are interested in helping to make this happen!
