Education
Teaching, Learning, and Making a Difference

Children from one of Newark Preschool Council’s Head Start classes at E T Bowser had an opportunity to show what they have learned about math through the medium of song and movement at a special reception at NJPAC for James Rohr, Chief Financial Officer and CEO of PNC Bank.  PNC Bank and the PNC 

PNC Foundation’s Grow Up Great initiative founded by Mr. Rohr has granted money directly to Newark Preschool Council to improve mathematics education in all Head Start classes and they have supported arts education at NJPAC which in turn sends their performance artists to some of our classrooms.  Ms. Boyd’s class at ET Bowser is happily served by both grants.  NJPAC’s artists work with teachers to enhance curriculum goals into the arts education and on this day, the children’s performance was based on math concepts.  

The story of our participation in this event is told by the author of an article in Positive Community Magazine.  Follow this link to read the entire article. (Click here)

PNC Grow Up Great 
We have received a grant from PNC Bank that will help us enhance our math instruction in all of our Head Start classrooms

" PNC Grow Up Great " focuses on mathematics instruction.  It seeks to enhance math curriculum content, increase teacher's opportunities for professional development, help parents partner with classroom teachers with home activities that mirror what is learned in school, and ultimately to positively impact the math outcomes for children.
