Now, who was the one that helped you figure out what you wanted to and who you wanted to be after high school?  Were they all the same teacher?  For the students in Mr Sleeter’s class, the answer is yes.  By providing project- based learning opportunities with real world applications, Rick Sleeter is preparing his students for the careers of tomorrow. He is engaging them each and every day, by discovering new worlds in ancient cultures And he’s gotten his fellow teachers at Eldorado High School and all their students collaborating on these projects as well Eldorado High School won for Mr Sleeter’s “Chaco Canyon Project Based Learning” in which his students developed an app for the Chaco Canyon National Historic Park. Since his win, Mr Sleeter used his Best In Class funding to build a maker’s lab He was selected as a National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow, bringing new experiences and specialized training back to the school.  This year, he is developing curriculum and working with his students as they learn 3D photography and modeling.   PASSION IN EDUCATION D DONOR IMPACT D O N O R I M P A C T CLIFTONLARSONALLEN CliftonLarsonAllen exists to create opportunities – for our clients, our people, and our communities Education plays a crucial role in our business and is the backbone of a strong professional The entire CLA family is strong supporters of education in our communities Supporting the APS Education Foundation allows CLA to add direct impact to the children of Albuquerque, who represent the future of our community Thank you to Shannon Barnhill, her team, and the Board of Directors for allowing CLA to be an active participant and supporter of the APS Educational Foundation As a proud graduate of APS and a parent of a current APS student, the importance of this great organization cannot be understated Raul J Anaya, CPA CLA Principal Valley Viking Class of 1998 DONOR IMPACT JANET WAGNER SAIERS ALUMKNIGHTS Walk through the halls of Del Norte High School and you may see Janet Saiers She introduces herself to every new face she comes across and checks to make sure students and staff are having a good day She picks up trash outside blown from the trashcan after lunch In the front office, she stopped to say hello to a young 2nd grader and asked, “Will you be coming to Del Norte”? Janet was part of the first full graduating class of Del Norte High School, in 1966 She notes that in the years that have passed, the neighborhoods have greatly changed, but students continue to need support from their community in order to well in school, graduate and find success after graduation Through the AlumKnights, Janet works with a dedicated alumni association to provide recognition and appreciation to staff and teachers, scholarships to students, and so much more They work to bridge the gap between the school and the community, by inviting corporate leaders to discuss career opportunities and by ensuring that all Knights, no matter of graduation year, feel a sense of strong community back at the Castle Before becoming a student at Del Norte, Janet was a student at Bel-Air Elementary School, Hodgin Elementary School, McKinley Middle School and Sandia High School Understanding that students need support from alumni across the district in all grade levels, Janet has invested in the APS Education Foundation in both time and treasure She credits her education through APS for her career at the City of Albuquerque “Basically, everything I did as a planner for Parks & Recreation went back to something I learned when I was a student.” Never forgetting how she was impacted by her education, she notes, “Teachers, counselors, coaches and other staff have so much to do, and they can’t everything they want to for their students because there simply isn’t enough time in the day.” Janet writes emails, researches, gets on the phone and works to ensure that Del Norte staff have the resources ready to provide new opportunities to students “There are so many things we can choose to with our time, so why not choose to make a difference?” CHOOSE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Superintendent STUDENT BOARD MEMBER ABIGAIL CRAFF In my eleven years as an APS student, I have been lucky enough to have had many incredible teachers who have designed innovative ways to keep students engaged and help them reach their full potential As the daughter of an APS employee, I have also seen that the lack of funding and resources can often make it difficult for teachers to their job to the best of their abilities I’ve seen my mother often reach into her own pocket in order to design lessons that will truly be impactful in the lives of her students, and I know she is not alone in this Across APS, there are thousands of great teachers who are willing to whatever it takes to help their students develop into strong and educated young men and women Serving on the APS Education Foundation Board has only affirmed my views on the teachers and faculty of APS In every grant cycle, I saw passionate teachers who had formulated incredible proposals, from incorporating modern technology like virtual reality into lesson plans to developing ways to take learning outdoors More striking, however, was the accounts of students who described how grants funded by the Foundation have changed the course of their lives and helped them determine what they want to in the future The Foundation has given these teachers with brilliant ideas the chance to put their plans into action Without the support of the Foundation, most of these proposals would have been impossible The amazing teachers of APS have made me (along with thousands of other APS students) into the person I am today and the Foundation is making sure that all of the great teachers across the school district can keep making such profound differences in students’ lives I am honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing organization and help make a difference in the lives of thousands of students Abigail graduated from the Early College Academy, Class of 2019 and is currently attending
