Schenectady, NY, May 31, 2011 - Schenectady-based Transfinder, a national leader in school transportation software solutions, has donated $2,000 to Proctors Education Department to help defray the cost to school districts for buses to transport students to educational programs at Proctors. The donation will enable five schools in Schenectady County to transport students to take advantage of one of the educational programs offered by Proctors during the 2011-2012 school year.
The School Days Program will begin on October 26, 2011 with Pure Poe, a Capital Repertory production, to play at the GE Theatre at Proctors. The School Days Series offers 10 shows and 15 performances throughout the school year for all grade levels.
Proctors Education Department provides innovative opportunities for teaching and learningthrough the arts with programs that integrate the arts into school curriculum, build community partnerships, foster creativity and promote a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Proctors is currently soliciting funds to help school districts off set high transportation costs. More than ever, districts are challenged to cover the cost of fieldtrip transportation. Proctors’ goal is to take money issues out of the equation, when it comes to fieldtrips that integrate arts education into a school’s curriculum. According to Antonio Civitella, President & CEO of Transfinder, “Field trips to outstanding educational and arts institutions such as Proctors and Capital Rep are a vital part of a young person’s development. We are proud to help provide this experience for hundreds of Schenectady County school children.”
