Stevenson PACT Elementary School Celebrates their 20th Anniversary

Stevenson PACT Elementary School in Mountain View, CA celebrated their 20th anniversary on Thursday, May 11, 2017. Past and present Alumni enjoyed the fine entertainment including Bollywood dancing, performances from children in the community and a jazz band.

Started initially as the PACT Program, Stevenson PACT Elementary School is founded on the idea of the parent, child, teacher partnership. On the one hand, dedicated teachers and administrators create and execute an alternative, integrated, developmental curriculum. On the other hand, parents support teachers and contribute their interests and talents through classroom and community volunteering.

Parents’ participation in their children's education is key to their success. Stevenson PACT parents
help to enrich the curriculum and support the school's philosophy, applying the principles learned in
Parent Ed both inside and outside of the classroom. (source: http://stevenson.mvwsd.org/)

Stevenson has been leading the region as a model for progressive education since 1996 and was
founded on the fundamental belief in the importance of teachers, children, and parents working
together to create a vibrant learning environment. Stevenson is committed to providing a balanced
education that teaches to the whole child, incorporating the intellectual, creative, social, physical, and
emotional growth of our students. (source: http://stevenson.mvwsd.org/)

Principal Rebecca Westover, “Believes in educating the whole child not just the academic pieces, but
also the child and their emotional well­being, across the board everyone is working towards the same
goal that the kids are learning and are happy. When you are a part of Stevenson, you are part of a
larger family”.
