Literacy Night at Dillard Elementary October 2015

/in /by

To kick off the literacy program, Dillard Elementary School had a fun-filled event on October 29, 2015 called Literacy Night. Every seat in the auditorium was taken and there was standing room only! The Step Team and the Drum-line entertained the entire crowd with their exceptional talents. We had volunteers help entertain the students by dressing up like the cast from the hit Disney movie Frozen. The energy and enthusiasm in the room was off the charts!!

The books that were donated by our members were given out to all of the attending families. Not only were the books donated, but also the costumes that were worn by the Pre-kindergarten students as well as many of the kindergartners. Every family member who attended went to their child’s classroom to hear about what was being taught to their children. Thank you to all of our members and volunteers for helping to make this a night magical!

This initiative is school-wide for all students from Pre-kindergarten through the fifth grade. The program is specially designed to foster literacy independence in young children and to bridge the literacy gap from school to home by giving each child their first book to begin a personalized home library.

Volunteering

/in /by

It takes awareness and many helping hands to make a difference. We did not accomplish the goal of doing a great job servicing the needs of Dillard Elementary alone. Our Volunteer Professionals strengthened relationships with students by their continued participation and numerous hours of time spent reading to the students, assisting in the classrooms, and much more.

Super Coders Club

/in /by

As you may already know, the Ranger Good Works initiative was designed to meet the philanthropic needs of Ranger Technical Resources’ employees, friends, and family. Our desire as a company to give back grew stronger and stronger as we continued to engage with the students of Dillard. Therefore, we started a technology club for them called the Ranger Super Coders. The club was designed for students of all ages to provide a great first experience in computer science and coding. We meet for an hour every month to educate students about the importance of computer science by volunteering our time and talent. Our aim is to inspire the younger generation to develop a better understanding of technology and coding by fostering the desire to build, innovate, and dream. Please be sure to check out their progress by visiting www.rangercoders.com.

Music Program

/in /by

David Morrison is the proud music teacher at Dillard Elementary. He has the privilege of teaching some of the most talented students in the state. Dillard Elementary has a dynamic drum-line that performs all over the tri-county area. Our Volunteer Professional, Johnathon Jadvani, has attended and assisted countless 7:30 am practices. As his volunteer hours added up, it was only a matter of time before he discovered additional ways to aid the drum line. As a result, he was able to provide a connection with Remo for new drum heads for the music class. Now, the group is able to perform loud and clear and can fashionably be noticed by their new uniforms which were provided by Eric Brown.David Morrison is the proud music teacher at Dillard Elementary.
