Hour of Code at Dillard Elementary December 2016

Hour of Code – December 2016

For the 4th year in a row, Ranger Good Works had an outstanding team show up to volunteer with us for Computer Science Education Week and the CODE.ORG Hour of Code initiative held at Dillard Elementary School.

Over 800 K-5 students participated in both “Unplugged” (paper activities and commanding people to move like robots) and computer “Plugged” coding programs on their tech devices. Even after the sounding of the bell to end their session, the students and volunteers didn’t want to stop. One eager and talented coder stated, “I have been waiting all year for The Hour of Code and was dreaming about this day since we did it last year!”  Volunteers walked out of the session proudly wearing a #BrowardCodes sticker to show their participation in a wonderfully productive and fulfilling coding event.

Thank you to everyone who supports Ranger Good Works in our effort to give the students at Dillard Elementary the 3 T’s –  Time Talent Treasure!

Our Partners included Dillard Elementary Staff, Ranger Technical Resources, Van Dutch, Vocabulary/Spelling City, Wells Fargo, Safety Guys, Broward County Clerk of Courts, Giant Titan, Yachting Today, Casbah Spa and several others amazing volunteers.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

I can read with my eyes shut! By Dr. Seuss

Literacy Night at Dillard Elementary School

For the 4th year in a row, Ranger Good Works will support the “Build Your Home Library” initiative at Dillard Elementary School. Please join us as we continue to help bridge the Literacy Gap in the Dillard community.

We will join with Broward County Public Schools to Celebrate Dr. Seuss’s 100th birthday! On Wednesday, October 26th Dillard Elementary will become Dillard-Seussville.
