What We Fund

Every year the Evesham Education Foundation strives to provide quality programs and learning tools in order to give students the education that they deserve. Below are just some of the amazing things that tge Evesham Education Foundation does for the students of Evesham.

School Year Programs & Learning Tools

Supplemental Counseling Program at Middle School

This program focuses on mental health by providing supplemental counseling services to middle school students with an identified need. Students have the opportunity to speak to the counselor privately or in a group setting. If a counselor feels further assistance is needed, they provide referral resources for students and their families, helping them to understand what services may be needed and how to obtain them. Having supplemental services in the school, as well as access to additional resources, is extremely beneficial to the students and their families.

ActivBoards

Evesham Education Foundation works with district staff to provide one to two ActivBoards annually to classroom teachers. The ActivBoard serves as an interactive whiteboard in the classroom to increase student engagement and enhance the use of technology in the classroom.

Summer Programs

Coordinated Arts Program for Primary Students (CAPPS)

Evesham Township School District’s Coordinated Arts Program for Primary Students (CAPPS) is a four-to-five-week summer program for selected pre-kindergarten students. The program is designed to provide opportunities to develop social readiness and academic skills for incoming kindergarten students who have a demonstrated need as determined during the spring kindergarten screening. CAPPS integrates art, music, and creative dramatics with skills in literacy, mathematics, and science. Areas of focus also include development of gross and fine motor coordination, oral language, and social interaction.

The Metamorphosis Program

The Metamorphosis Program is a middle school summer enrichment program designed for selected students who either will be entering middle school or have just completed their sixth-grade year of middle school. The primary goals of the program are to enhance the social growth and development of participating students, increase communication skills, develop positive self-image, and strengthen positive peer relationships. The Metamorphosis Program meets five days a week for four weeks each summer. The program is interactive and centers on weekly themes that include various creative activities such as art, music, drama, and other related areas.

Literacy Support Program for Primary Grade Students

The purpose of this program is to provide targeted instruction to selected students entering first, second or third grade who would most benefit from additional literacy support in the summer months. Students receive instruction through the district’s balanced literacy model in small groups that are no larger than five. Reading, writing and word study skills are integrated into each session. Students are recommended for this program based on spring reading levels and teacher recommendation. The program is typically held during the month of July, and includes am or pm sessions, twice weekly.

Tier III Enrichment Extensions

This district-wide summer enrichment program is for identified Tier III students. The purpose of this program is to bring together gifted and talented students from across the district in order to provide enrichment course offerings. This program is held during the month of July and includes a.m. and p.m. sessions daily in two-week increments. Courses are designed around 21st Century Life and Career Standards and integrate STEM and/or Humanities.

In addition to the programs and learning tools referenced above, the Evesham Education Foundation also supports ETSD in the following ways:

  • Eyes on Art Framing - Annually ETSD showcases about a thousand pieces of student artwork in a district art show to spotlight the arts. Art teachers are then able to select three-four pieces from the show to be further honored. The EEF generously donated the framing of these pieces annually, so they can be displayed throughout the school year until the following year’s art show where they are returned to students or donated back for permanent display.
  • Sports Uniforms - Based on a rotating basis and identified need, EEF provides sports uniforms for middle school interscholastic teams.
  • Graduation Scholarships - One graduating eighth grader from each school is awarded a monetary donation toward their educational experience as they move on to high school.
  • Movie Night - The EEF annually sponsors a movie night in Marlton that is a free event for students and families. The event is geared toward the students of the Evesham Township School District.
