Final Draft

San Pasqual Academy needs funding in order for its students to be successful. San Pasqual Academy is a first-in-the-nation residential education campus designed specifically for foster teens. It is located in Escondido, CA and provides foster teens with a stable, caring home, a quality, individualized education, and the skills needed for independent living. San Pasqual Academy needs funding for many different reasons, but one way that funding could be directly used is by providing agendas for our students.

Our idea is to have quality agendas for San Pasqual Academy students. It can help in ways like getting homework done on time, and being organized, not just organized in school but will help the students here at San Pasqual Academy be organized in other areas as well. This will work by helping the school and will also help us to be responsible people. San Pasqual Academy needs funding because we cannot provide a single copy for every student and new students who enroll for the next school year, or for extra copies. Agendas are a necessary tool but they can be used for other things, people today use planners which are agendas. San Pasqual Academy students need an agenda.

It will help me with my educational goals, by being well organized and responsible. This prize will help to provide tools for me to be successful as I pursue my education. It will also help me because we can use the money for school supplies.The money we need will help San Pasqual Academy’s students to have a better future. Plus, we need more school supplies to provide for our students.

Some contributions have been provided by other donations and funding. Such as, The Jammer Family Foundation (Quentin Jammer’s Organization), Friends Of San Pasqual Academy and many more. One of our teachers has created a sheet of paper that works like an agenda in place of actual ones in order for students to keep track of their work. By making sure we get it signed every night and getting it checked off by one of our teachers.Teachers have been putting ideas in such as making paper agendas for students here. If we had real agendas it would be much better and so much more efficient.

It can provide technology and equipment that will help us be more interested in what we are learning, and students would be willing to work on the assignments that are being handed out. It will help the students at San Pasqual Academy by motivating them with technology since it is something more interesting to work with. It can also help because if we have more technology, more students would be interested in coming to San Pasqual Academy and also our student body would grow.The more we educate our students the better our students will be at educating themselves in the future by the school discipline.

San Pasqual Academy needs funding for these specific reasons. It will help us, the students, so much in our future as foster teens. How it will help students here at San Pasqual Academy, the prize, how we worked on the project, and how it will be provided.Getting the prize will make our school a better and educated place for the students here at San Pasqual Academy.
