Children's Fund
The Children's Fund was established in 1998, sponsored by the Chandler Education Association (CEA), in partnership with the Chandler Unified School District. Employees' donations of "cents over the dollar" from each paycheck helps enrich the lives and education opportunities of children and employees within the district. Last year CUSD employees contributed almost $5,000.

San Marcos Family Resource Center
The San Marcos Family Resource Center was established in 1995 to provide basic medical and social services for needy Chandler students and their families. The Children's Clinic, a keystone service of the San Marcos Family Resource Center, provides acute-care medical treatment, well-child check-ups, and sports physicals for uninsured Chandler youth birth to 18 years of age.

The center also hosts an emergency food and clothing bank and facilitates evening adult education English-as-a-Second Language classes, and GED classes. The Resource Center is a wonderful example of what can be done when charitable, governmental, and private agencies join together with private citizens to serve the community.

Chandler High School Leadership and Intervention
The CHS Leadership and Intervention Program provides leadership training for juniors and seniors who mentor incoming freshmen students in order to facilitate their transition to high school. Conflict Resolution Training for peer mediation is also provided through the Leadership and Intervention Program.

Giggles, Squiggles and Squirms™
The Giggles, Squiggles and Squirms program uses a unique 32-week curriculum plan for three and four year olds and their parents, introducing a new read-aloud book every four weeks. Home liaisons meet with parents and give them books, supplies and activities to complete with their children. As the parents read the books to their children, they do accompanying activities such as counting, sorting, matching, movement, poetry and cooking. This program assists parents in being their child’s first teacher.

“SENIORS SAYING THANK YOU”
The Seniors Saying Thank You program was started in the 2002/2003 school year by a 2003 Hamilton High School graduate. The program was designed to give CUSD seniors the opportunity to recognize and thank the teacher who had the greatest influence on them during their time at school. Forms are passed out to all seniors who then write a personal thank you note to their favorite teacher. Completed forms are screened and then delivered to the respective teacher through CUSD mail. The Chandler Education Foundation would like to see the program continue and is looking for a CUSD student to administer the project. Do you know of someone who might be interested? If so, please call 480-812-7633 or send an email to ChandlerEducationFoundation@chandler.k12.az.us.
