Health and Wellness
Is good teaching or an engaging curriculum enough if students don’t feel healthy and safe?
Your contribution helps ensure students are physically and emotionally well so they are better learners. “CEI’s Health and Wellness Initiative takes a whole child approach that includes the social, emotional, nutritional, physical and mental health of students. Children are now equipped with everything they need for extraordinary learning to occur.” – Manitou Springs Superintendent.

STEM
Do you know a student who always wants to know how things work?
Employers must recruit talent outside of Colorado to meet the in-state demand for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) occupations. Consider this — the surgeon who starts practicing when the last baby boomers turn 65 is in sixth grade right now. Help make STEM education a priority in the early grades, and connect older students to STEM internships and mentoring.

Covers the cost for two students to take AP exams in STEM subjects who otherwise could not afford the exam fees.
