Program areas at The Supriya Jindal Foundation for Louisiana's Children
In 2014, we provided hands-on enrichment tools to roughly 245 classrooms and in over 35 different schools across Louisiana. Additionally, we installed interactive whiteboard technology in nine classrooms, activtables in two kindergarten classrooms, 220 learnpad tablets in 60 classrooms, and distributed 8,500 books to over 100 schools.
To encourage computer science education in Louisiana, The Foundation invited Louisiana students to participate in code.org's "hour of code," a global computer-programming initiative, during national computer science week. The Foundation held a contest to award top participating schools.
The Foundation created a baby journal entitled, "love. Read. Learn!" for distribution to new parents in Louisiana. The journal was created to aid new parents with The education (both cognitive and physical development) of their beloved newborn.
To encourage young Children to make educated choices about their health, The Foundation has launched a program called "choose smart and get active." This program provides schools with hands-on tools to aid in The health education of our state's young students. Indeed studies show that an active lifestyle, combined with understanding their body's nutritional needs, will aid our students to achieve academic success in The classroom.
