GCI-Cable has been a constant source
of financial aid for Lake Hood school.
Over
the years, this partner has contributed
monies for school projects ranging from
technology improvements to t-shirts.
This past school year (2002-2003), GCICable
donated $1,500 to Lake Hood’s
Classroom Libraries project. The money
is
being used to assist teachers in purchasing
materials for their individual classroom
libraries, making them more inviting to
all
students - especially the struggling readers.
GCI-Cable has also given of its employees’ time
and talents. Each year GCI volunteers have
assisted with Back-to-School picnics, Open
House nights, and Quarterly Awards assemblies,
among others.
Cable employees thrilled students as
they dressed as Dr. Seuss characters
Cat in
the Hat, Thing One, and Thing Two. They
visited every classroom and later assisted
with a school-wide assembly.
A Volunteer Readers program was initiated
during the prior school year and it continues
to be a part of weekly school events.
GCI-Cable employees volunteer their time
on Friday afternoons to read to students
and to talk with students
about special interests.
Since its inception, 62
GCI employees have
visited with students at
Lake Hood. |
Lake Hood students and staff enjoy
sending this school business partner baskets
of goodies and student artwork
throughout the year. We also maintain a
poster with pictures of current shared
activities.
This poster is displayed at the cable
headquarters.
GCI-Cable, in turn, shares in the partner
enthusiasm by decorating its walls with
students’ artwork. (We have
even heard rumors that this partner tries
to match-up artwork with employees and
their traits!) And we must not forget the
wonderful Coffee Wagon that is supplied
for the teachers on
the last teacher workday of the school
year.
This is GCI-Cable’s way of thanking the staff
of Lake Hood for its hard work and dedication
to the teaching profession. We truly
appreciate GCI-Cable!
