District-Wide PROGRAMS
The Edina Education Fund is proud to support the Edina Public Schools in its
mission to educate all individuals to be responsible, lifelong learners who possess
the skills, knowledge, creativity, sense of self-worth, and ethical values necessary to
thrive in a rapidly changing, culturally diverse, global society. Here is a glimpse of
some of the programs made possible by the Ed Fund.
Edina Give and Go
In recent years, Edina Public Schools has adopted an “All for All” mission that
supports all students in their quest to become lifelong learners. Likewise, the
Edina Ed Fund is committed to providing innovative learning experiences to
all Edina students. It is in this spirit of serving all students that the Ed Fund
is proud to announce its collaboration with a new organization, Edina Give
and Go. Give and Go is dedicated to ensuring access to life and learning
opportunities, both in and out of the classroom, for students who struggle
with financial hardship. By working together, the Ed Fund and Give and
Go are reaching many students, engaging them in rewarding, educational
activities and advancing the Ed Fund’s mission of making our schools and our
community stronger.
South View
Writing Center
Now in its third year, the Writing Center
at South View Middle School continues to
ease students' writing anxieties. On any
given day, student coaches collaborate with
fellow students before and after school to
provide assistance and offer feedback. Last
year, the Writing Center held more than 500
conferences to help students improve their
writing skills.

The writing conference is
definitely a powerful tool
to give kids feedback —
far more powerful than
writing comments on
their paper.
- Tess Bademan,
SVMS English Teacher
Writer's Block
The Writer’s Block grant provides funds for Edina High School's writing
center, which provides writing support through one-on-one consultations and
is available to all students engaged in the writing process. Student writing
coaches use their creative talents to assist other students with their writing.
Last year, two of the student writing coaches created an online writing center,
making it possible for students to get help from home. During Collaborative
Wednesdays, (dedicated weekly time for personalized learning opportunities),
the Writer’s Block hosts sessions focused on developing creative writing skills.
The support students receive is invaluable, with more than 500 benefitting
from services last year.
Project Lead the Way
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is an integrated study of science, technology,
engineering and math, which includes the following courses: Principles
of Engineering, Civil Engineering and Digital Electronics. Last fall, a laser
engraver was given to Edina High School PLTW programs for students to
create high-quality models to learn architectural styles. Students designed
a building for a site in Edina, built models with the laser engraver, and
presented their designs and models to the Edina City Council. In the 201314 school year, 264 Edina students taking these PLTW courses earned three
college credits through the University of Minnesota.
Workflow Institute
The Workflow Institute was created by the
district in 2014 with the financial assistance

districts’ Summer 2014 Edina Learning
Institute, staff participated in four motivating
and engaging Workflow courses focused on installing, implementing and
integrating a systematic approach into their teaching practice.
Personal Behavior Finance
To help students navigate the complex economic landscape as they approach
adulthood, a group of Edina High School alumni made a generous donation
to enhance the district's personal financial literacy curriculum. The Personal
Finance semester course expands students’ knowledge of economics, human
behavior and spending patterns, helping them better understand college
costs, navigate credit, as well as manage, make and save money.

Innovation Grants
In addition to district-wide programming, the Ed Fund annually awards
Innovation Grants to teachers to pilot innovative student engagement
strategies. Innovation Grants have proven to help transform the educational
experience for all students. Here is a sampling of Innovation Grants from the
2013-14 school year.
CONCORD: Classroom of the Future
This grant allowed a Concord Elementary fourth grade teacher to update her
classroom with flexible furniture to enhance

rearranged to accommodate a variety of teaching methods and learning styles.
EDINA HIGH SCHOOL: Stepping Up to Fitness
This grant provided students in the Core Fitness Class with Fitbits to examine
their overall levels of health and fitness throughout the day. Students
monitored daily steps, total active minutes, water and nutrition intake, and
sleeping habits in order to gain a greater understanding of the effects of

their daily choices. Through weekly journal writing, students shared their
fitness insights and experiences. At the end of the assessment period, they
developed SMART fitness goals to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Edina High School: Picture This!
Picture this: new specialized cameras in the science department at Edina High
School. This grant turned a department’s dream into a reality with cameras
featuring a wide range of lenses, additional hardware, and supporting
software that allow teachers and students to go deeper in discussion and
instruction. The cameras engage students in all grade levels taking biology,
chemistry, physics and other science electives. Students are now able to
more easily share discoveries with their classmates, including observations of
microscopic pond life or how much sweat is produced in a person's fingertips.
Highlands: Every Voice Matters
The Every Voice Matters grant provided
Highlands Elementary students with new
books with characters and stories that reflect
a wide variety of racial, ethnic and cultural
backgrounds, more reflective of the diversity
of our students and our world, thus allowing
classes to have deeper discussions about
different cultures and backgrounds. Using the
books as their guide, students talked about
the cultural traditions of others and how they
can appreciate everyone around them. The
books help students feel comfortable in their
own skin while allowing them to make better
connections with others.
At the end of the year,
a student wrote me
a letter that summed
up the Every Voice
matters grant
beautifully. It simply
said,“You believe in
me.”
- Jamie Johansen
Highlands teacher
