After-School Programs
Music, Robotics and more
The DEANS continue to support after-school programs and activities to provide enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom. In partnering with the Andersen PTA, we look forward to offering many more unique opportunities for the Andersen students in the very near future.
Technology
Andersen DEANS Think Tank and Maker Space
The DEANS want to provide our children with access to some of the best technology and equipment. The Think Tank is essentially a computer lounge where the children can work on their chromebooks in an environment that best suits their learning needs. The Maker Space allows students to explore their imaginative and creative potential with access to green screen technology, 3D printing and a broadcasting studio.
Speaker Series
Community Education
The DEANS believe strongly in the importance of our children’s emotional and mental health. Children today are exposed to more pressures and stresses than we ever experienced when we were their age. For this reason, the DEANS, in conjunction with PTA, have provided a speaker series featuring Dr. Jerry Weichman, a renowned clinical psychologist and adolescent specialist. Dr. Weichman’s speaker series is designed for Andersen parents, students and faculty. We feel very fortunate to be able to bring his expertise to the Andersen community.
The DEANS vision
Fundraising Goal: $600,000+
We will spend over $1,600 per Andersen student.
Every dollar of your tax deductible donation goes directly to helping our students.
Your participation is essential to make this happen.
Each day your children attend Andersen they benefit from the investments the DEANs make. Be it a teachers aide that would not be there, a music program or an after school language program, they simply would not have these opportunities without your generous support.
