What are the funding and budget goals for the next 3 years?     A 3-year budget has been developed tied to project activities. Additional partnerships will be sought in the community for program involvement and funding.

Who will measure the results of MMM and how will they be measured?     As noted in a previous email (that you surely read), one of the four workgroups is charged with measuring the impact of the pilot program. Target performance goals and measurements will include reading literacy scores, school performance and attendance data, behavioral encounters, family participation and family survey data, and teacher assessment of key indicators such as literacy development and social development.

We all know the answer to that question. The next seven weeks will fly by as we prepare for the Stillwater Sampler. The questions and answers continue . . . 

What are the expected volunteer needs in the next 3 years? There will be a number of exciting volunteer opportunities to work with students in the classroom, after school, and at home. Monthly events are being planned for students and their families to increase the family’s connection with school with the help of volunteers. Tutoring opportunities, especially one-to-one reading, are expected to be a major avenue for volunteer involvement.

What are the expected material expenses (description and amounts) for MMM for the next 3 years? These expenses will include flat screen TVs, classroom teaching supplies, take-home student supplies for use by parents teaching their students, and (by grade 2) musical instruments and instruction.

Thanks for hanging in there with us. Understanding the components of the spotlight program will help us all make this event great. Who do you know that loves music (and eating) and would enjoy this great event?
