August’s Mission: To provide school supplies and for students at Rosedale Elementary School. Rosedale has 565 students Grades K-5. For over 10 years Faith Lutheran has provided different schools in Chico with school supplies. Last year we began our relationship with Rosedale during God’s Work Our Hands. It is the one school in Chico that has what is called 2 way immersion in learning. Chico Unified School District's Two-Way Immersion Program groups native Spanish speakers with native English speakers in the same classroom. Ideally, one-half of the students are Spanish speakers and one-half are English speakers. Positive interaction between groups ensures that our students learn from each other. As friendships build, children become excited about working and playing in two languages.

Why it Matters: We choose to provide these supplies because there is always a need for more supplies than what is budgeted. This is a need that goes on through out the school year. When students and teaches don’t have to worry about the supplies that support the teaching, then they can focus on learning.

How Can You make a Difference: You can help by picking up a few items from the list below on your usual shopping trips. We would ask you pay attention to specific items like pencils and dry erase Expo markers. Bring them by Faith on Sunday morning or during the week during the month of August:
