Experience Fund

The Experience Fund…
“Bringing the out-of-the-classroom world to life for Shanklin students."
Every child deserves the chance to learn about the world both inside and out of the classroom. But not all children have the opportunity to explore beyond the walls of their school. That’s why Friends of Shanklin is working closely with Joseph Shanklin Elementary School to broaden the students’ life experiences and to help extend the curricula outside the school.
​

Many thanks to St. Marks and Church Mouse
for generous grants awarded to FOS
to help fund these learning experiences!

Virtual Experiences
conducted by
Garner Holt Education through Imagination
Photos of May 23, 2024 Garner-Holt virtual presentation. Fourth graders created "doodle bug bots" and fifth graders made animatronic faces.
Later that evening, students returned to show their projects to parents.
