New Partnership with Worldgate LLC Announced

Aldrin Elementary School is proud to announce that we have a new business partner with Worldgate LLC. The partnership was officially announced as part of a planned student assembly. Worldgate LLC president, Katelyn Montgomery (below, middle), and vice president Scott Montgomery (below, left) are also Aldrin parents. Worldgate is a consulting company with offices in Reston, Philadelphia, and New York. They are at work on several educational projects.

This new partnership was immediately apparent as staff of Worldgate LLC assisted with preparing and distributing Science Fair Certificates to the nearly 180 students who participated in the PTA Science Fair on April 19th. (Read more about the ways in which they will support Aldrin below.)

Aldrin ES will provide opportunities for Worldgate LLC to participate in Aldrin events which focus on science, technology, reading, and math; display selected art work in the Worldgate LLC business offices; and promote the partnership to local media outlets and via other communication vehicles to ensure that students, staff, parents, and community members are aware of the advantages of symbiotic relationships.

Worldgate LLC will continue to support our school, students, and PTA by:

• Volunteering support for the Summer of Awesome Reading (SOAR) program to include, but not limited to, the following options: assisting students in choosing appropriate books, funding, packaging books, and delivering books.
• Assisting students with community service projects, by grade or by project, whichever is more appropriate. Projects may include, but are not limited to: food drives, coat drives, and campus landscaping.
• Providing financial support for sports camp scholarships for needy students (supplementing PTA funds) and volunteering support for the camps in the form of assisting sports camp directors.
• Exploring the option of sponsoring selected student field trips.
• Supporting the PTA Landscaping Committee in the form of funding or volunteer hours.
• Supporting the Global Awareness Technology Project (GATP) in the form of assistance to the fifth grade students and teachers.
• Participating in Read Across America Day by providing volunteer readers.
