How Poverty Affects Students:
We believe:
That the uniqueness and diversity of every child needs to be celebrated.
That every child wants to succeed, but sometimes needs help to overcome obstacles to that success.
Education is the key to unlocking successful futures, but that Literacy is a critical skill to learning.
All children deserve a safe place to learn and grow.
A child’s education is most successful when communities, families, and schools work together in a climate of mutual support and respect.
Be part of breaking the cycle of poverty!
