Charlie Skidmore


To honor Charlie Skidmore's years of dedication and service to Arlington High School, a group of community members along with AEF is raising funds to help realize his vision of turning the media center into a modern 'learning commons', accessible and welcoming to more students during the day and also after-hours through online databases and other technology.

 What's a Learning Commons?
Have a look at what we are starting with.


To this end, any money raised would be used in the following ways:
  • Space consult to suggest ways to make the area more inviting and create new spaces such as a performance stage for poetry jams and gathering places for small groups.
  • Build the core collection adding new, current reference, non-fiction/fiction and weed through the existing collection.
  • Purchase adequate databases that support curriculum such as online encyclopedias, textbooks and core databases.
  • Purchase additional media technologies, possibly adding new computers and smartboards.


This effort is sponsored by Arlington Education Foundation, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your support.
