Our school is full of passionate, hard-working students who often take RTD buses to school and have free and reduced lunches. The majority speak more than one language, and many will be first-generation college students. They beat the odds constantly, and inspire everyone there every day. We have a full time social worker, drug counselor, psychiatrist, and various support groups for mental health. We also have materials for homeless families, and resources to help them get back on their feet. Our school really prides itself on connecting to the community, as family is crucial to our students. We also organize educational trips, such as to Costa Rica, and in two years, Japan! This requires a lot of fundraising and working at Coors Field during the summer, but the journeys are truly once-in-a-lifetime. I want to provide anything my students may not have easy access to otherwise, and Donors Choose has accomplished that.
