The School Time Capsule Project

The School Time Capsule Project started in 2005 focused on dropout prevention. It slowly expanded to include family history and parental involvement from pre-k through graduation. By 2018/19 it was in 20 Dallas ISD schools. Motivated by annual letters from family starting in Pre-k, and documenting their own life dreams from 3rd grade on, student achievement soared. The 8th and 12th grade letters plan 10-years into the future and stay in the Time Capsule Vault until 10-year class reunions.
