Partners in Education
Partners in Education are community businesses and groups who support the school in order to help us provide a better education for all our students. Our Partners here at Wangenheim are the Yogurt World, Vulcan Materials Company, Barnes & Noble Mira Mesa and Souplantation Mira Mesa.
One of our Partners is Vulcan Materials Company, located on Black Mountain Road just one block south of Wangehheim. Last year, Vulcan Material Company donated $800 so that we could purchase graphing calculators for our 8th grade algebra students. Vulcan has also been very generous in sponsoring field trips to their plant. They always treat us to a delicious breakfast buffet and call in the experts to explain the workings of the company. The students enjoy the driving tour of the plant. (You can see the entire operation as you drive south from Gold Coast on Camino Ruiz.)
Our newest partners are Barnes & Noble and Souplantation. Souplantation will provide refreshments for our meeting and many school activities. They will host our monthly Lunch with the Principal for the Wildcats of the Month. In addition, they will provide guest speakers and field trips for our foods class. They will also provide meal certificates for student and staff recognition.
Barnes & Noble is supporting our school in many ways. The have sponsored Book Clubs. They will also host fundraisers and provide a spot for Wangenheim students to perform plays. Also, they will on occasion display our artwork in their window and provide authors as guest speakers in the classroom.
Thank you to our partners for their generosity and continued support of our school.
