Schools We Support
Heritage Elementary School (HES)
Principal Hester wants us to Know that:
The teachers are working so hard to not only meet the needs of students present in their classrooms but also help the students having to stay home on (Covid) quarantine to keep up with their learning.
What you don’t realize is that your support is also impacting their families and their homes, which in turn, impacts our whole community. From the students, families, and staff at Heritage, please accept our sincere gratitude for all that you have done, and continue to do, to impact lives in a positive way.”
Principal Hester, goes on to say:
CRO Glassy efforts stimulated and inspired teachers and students at Heritage Kindergarten through 5th grades – to improve their tested performance to an ‘excellent’ rating for the first time. This result, after being in the lowest group the year before.”
O.P.Earle Elementary
CRO Glassy is pleased to be able to include O.P. Earle Elementary in the schools we now support. O.P.Earle is located in the heart of Landrum and is part of the Spartanburg School District. It serves 423 students in grades PK-5. O.P. Earle is a Kennedy Center Partners in Education school and an Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) school with the “mission to inspire and educate young minds.”
Principal Brian Murray said:
We are looking forward to this partnership and can't wait to see the growth and success of our children as a result of your generosity.
And your donations have already made a difference. In the fall of 2020, CRO Glassy supported software licenses, enough Chromebook cases for all students, and the Literacy Footprint leveled readers.
Tigerville Elementary School (TES)
Your donations made a difference. Tigerville Elementary earned the 2018 National Blue Ribbon Award and credited the partnership with CRO Glassy as the component to success.
Principal Jackson has successfully engaged the residents of a nearby residential community in a school/community partnership. This partnership was an integral component of Tigerville’s transformation. The residents, mainly retirees, support Tigerville educationally and financially. Principal Jackson arranged for training of the residents as weekly tutors and mentors using the school’s curriculum and instructional materials specific to each students’ needs and achievement levels. Through the residents’ support, Tigerville created a Smart Table lab so every student has access to devices. The residents also have purchased jackets, shoes, food, and Christmas presents for students in need.”
From the Times Examiner:
Tigerville Elementary is proof that students in rural schools can produce outstanding academic results,” said Superintendent Burke Royster. “It is also evidence of the important role community partners such as the Cliff’s Residents Outreach can play in a school’s success. I want to extend my congratulations to Principal Diane Jackson, her administrative staff, outstanding teachers, and the school’s hard-working students and supportive families for receiving this national recognition. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments.”
