A Critical Year for Keane Elementary Students
This coming school year, Keane Elementary School will undergo major construction. During that time, students and staff will be temporarily relocated
While the renovation is an investment in the future, the transition will create new challenges for many families.
A longer commute. New routines. Transportation barriers. Reduced access to resources that families have come to rely on.
These challenges can lead to increased absenteeism and make it harder for students to stay engaged in school.
That is why the Schenectady Rotary Club support is more important than ever.
Through our partnership with the Schenectady Community Schools Initiative, we work to remove barriers that stand between students and success.
Over the past several years, community support has helped provide:
📚 A free book for every student at the Scholastic Book Fair (~900+ books in 3 years!)
👓 Eyeglasses for students in need
🧥 Winter coats and clothing assistance
📱 Learning support technology
🧺 Free laundry facilities and supplies for families
🤝 Events that connect families, teachers, and the school community
As families navigate a year of transition, maintaining those connections and supports will be critical.
Our goal is to raise $20,000 to help ensure every student can stay connected, stay engaged, and continue learning despite the challenges ahead.
We are already 50% there and you can help us cross the finish line.
Today's students are tomorrow's leaders. Together, we can help them succeed.
