Dear SRI Community,
A small pebble has its ripples
Thank you so much to the individuals/groups who have already set-up personal fundraising pages on behalf of SRI, and for the many more people who have financially contributed to the Dream Big Campaign. We are excited to get this campaign started, and even more excited to have others join us!
I am looking for additional people who are interested in becoming fundraisers on behalf of SRI. By the end of November, we would like to have at least 30 individual and group fundraising pages and we need your help. Has the work of SRI impacted you personally or professionally? Do you want to make sure other educators have the opportunity to experience transformational learning communities? You can help us by becoming a fundraiser on behalf of SRI! Maybe you have already thought about helping us Dream Big, but just didn’t know how to start.
I will be hosting two upcoming webinars to share the process for setting up a Dream Big Campaign fundraising page. This can be done as an individual, or as a group. During this webinar, I will share how to set-up the page, how to share it with your friends, family and colleagues, and answer any questions you may have about this ambitious effort.
The Dream Big Campaign will allow us to support educators throughout the country by providing scholarships and learning grants for those who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
| “I am grateful to those who have made it possible for me to attend the SRI Winter Meeting. In my small group, I received a wealth of information that helped me change my practice. I understand the need for all members to have a voice in what takes place in schools. It became evident that many voices are better than one if change is to occur.” –Darlene, WM Scholarship Recipient |
| “Thank you to SRI for the scholarship to Winter Meeting. Winter Meeting allowed me to take risks with strangers, who quickly became friends, and to test out new moves in a safe way. After Winter Meeting I was able to return to my work setting with new vigor and energy and a whole new set of tools. The SRI Winter Meeting scholarship enabled me to have an intensive professional development experience that had a much longer lasting impact. The pebble has its ripples. I will always be grateful for the opportunity.” – Debbie, WM Scholarship Recipient |
Will you be one of the people to help provide these transformational experiences for educators?
