| FIT Jaguars Education Cart, a rolling health education station, which allows teachers and parents to enrich health education in the classroom. The project was made possible with funding from Northside Hospital, which has been a Partner In Education (PIE) with the school for three years. |
For nearly two decades, Northside Hospital’s Partners in Education (PIE) program has been at the forefront of fostering education in the metro Atlanta community by supporting students and teachers. PIE connects students, teachers and administrators with business resources to increase the quality of education for our future leaders.
Northside’s PIE program partners with individual schools, exchanging resources, services, and other forms of support. The collaborative relationship benefits both partners, but ultimately improves educational
opportunities for children.
Northside works with community schools to implement
new initiatives and provide needed resources through established goals, objectives, and activities. Currently,
PIE serves more than 100 schools in eight counties.
Northside’s PIE program seeks to:
Improve student achievement through...
- Sponsoring student programs that promote health and wellness.
- Providing newsletter articles about health and safety topics.
- Recognizing academic improvement and achievement.
- Supporting improvement programs for attendance and other initiatives.
Improve the teaching and learning environment through...
- Donating supplies for school clinics.
- Donating emergency backpacks for classrooms.
- Supporting outdoor classrooms and science labs.
Strengthen parent and community support of the schools and students by...
- Participating on advisory committees.
- Displaying student artwork at business sites.
- Inviting school choral, band and dance groups to perform at hospital events.
- Participating on judging panels for school contests; i.e. essays, spelling bees, science
fairs.
Improve staff morale by...
- Supporting teacher recognition efforts to recognize and cultivate outstanding teachers.
- Sponsoring staff appreciation and “Teacher of the Year” luncheons.
- Providing prizes for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Schools also support Northside in various ways including volunteering for community
projects and championing Northside’s contributions and outreach in the community.
