Find It Fund It Florida - Hillsborough Education Foundation

The goal of this project is to increase academic success and ownership school wide. Last year Sheehy Elementary was rated a school grade of a D, 294 points with only 25% of our scholars being proficient in reading, 25% proficient in math, and 35% proficient Science. This year we have set ambitious goals of moving our school grade to a school grade of a B, 432 points. While this will take a lot of hard work and dedication, we believe that everything is possible for our scholars if we all work extremely hard. The goal of this project will be to celebrate report card grades and growth, Principal Honor Roll, Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, and Achievement on assessments in all core subjects. Research shows when students own their data and celebrate growth, they are likely to perform at high levels on assessments and overall school performance.
