San Ramon Valley School Age Child Care Alliance (Kids' Country)

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give. Check out the official Giving Tuesday website http://www.givingtuesday.org/

It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a tradition of generosity. Kids' Country staff gives back to the students we serve every day. It is our goal to constantly improve our programming and services.

One way we are doing this is through the Center for the Arts & Sciences. Although the space in not yet complete and ready to be utilized for enrichment classes, the Kids’ Country Curriculum Development Specialists are designing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education Curriculum and Discovery Kits. Through the interactive lessons featured in the kits, students will be able to learn STEM Education strategies that will prepare them for the workforce of tomorrow. Just some of the exciting lessons the students will encounter will be in the areas of robotic engineering, computer animation and video game design. These project based STEM kits will help us develop the future curriculum for the Center for the Arts & Sciences, our facility which will house a lab dedicated solely to STEM Education. Please help us ignite a child’s passion in STEM and consider showing your support for Kids' Country on Giving Tuesday by donating to our STEM Discovery Kits.
