"The power of public schools is evident in the relationships that evolve between students, faculty and staff.” Jim Baurer.

MISD Facilities Director, Jim Baurer, attended a small Illinois Public school system (grade school 1-8) and high school (9-12). There were only 42 in his senior class. A highlight for Baurer was the annual pancake and sausage supper fundraiser. Held each year beginning at noon and running until late evening, with specialty booths and a full meal.  The event was attended by students, faculty, staff, parents, as well as volunteers. “This was the major fundraiser event for our grade school and was very successful each year. Everyone worked together to make this event an ongoing success.”

Baurer said the most important aspect of his public education was the opportunity to become friends and work with students from a variety of backgrounds.

Fulton Independent

The Family Connection, Fulton Independent’s FRYSC, teamed up with Title One family engagement to give a book and a stuffed Bulldog to every student in grades K-3.  The program encourages students to read to their Bulldogs at home.  In addition, parents who send in photos of their children reading to the puppies are entered into a drawing for small prizes. 

 

“They (Scholastic) encourage reading to pets, so I thought ‘Let’s give our kids a pet of their own’,”  said Tracy Pulley, FRYSC Director. 

 

Ms. Pulley had $1000 and 90 students to cover. She found a community partner, Evans Drug of Fulton, who helped the district buy the stuffed animals at a wholesale price.  Students and parents have responded well to the program. One grandparent sent in a video of her granddaughter reading to her bulldog; many sent photos of their children reading in the car, on the couch, in bed. Parent, Julie Boyd, said her kindergartener couldn't wait to "come home and warm up her dog and look at her book!"

 

“(The stuffed Bulldogs) serve as both comfort objects and reading inspiration,” said Pulley. “The Bulldogs can be warmed in a microwave and they smell like lavender. In a stressful school year, they’re perfect.”
