We need baked goods to be sold at the Bake Sale Table which people can easily eat as finger foods as they walk around and look at the crafts. Items that sold were cookies, brownies, puppy chow, sliced bread (banana bread, cranberry nut bread, etc.), decorated sugar cookies. Please place 2 nice size cookies or 4 small cookies in a Ziploc baggie, one nice size brownie and/or bread in a Ziploc baggie.

FutureBuilders is the non-profit education foundation of the Missouri School Boards’ Association, organized in 1996 to promote student achievement and parent/community involvement in public schools. Built on the belief that public education is the foundation of our democracy, FutureBuilders believes that it is imperative that we counter the negative stereotyping of public schools so often expounded by the media and so-called “experts.” The foundation works to spread the news about the good things going on day in and day out in Missouri’s public schools. Their unofficial motto is “Research, not rhetoric” and they use that as a model to help tell the true story of the successes of our public schools.
After reviewing: Please write and title a 500-700-word essay on the following theme:
The Climate, Culture and Organizational Efficacy section of the Vision for
Missouri Public Education’s Report,(Pages 10 and 11of the report)please explain how the climate and culture of schools support a positive learning environment.
