My Project

Several families are impacted by the recent closure of multiple apartment dwellings and new affordable housing limitations in our community. To support our families, our Counseling Department would like to provide our scholars impacted by these changes with basic school supplies. This will ensure they will have a strong start to the 25-26 school year.

Here are some of the accolades our scholars were able to achieve this year:

APS Counseling Department Overall Rating: GOLD STAR

Significant growth with meeting our College and Career Readiness Index

GMAS Assessment Scores increased in reading and math

Student and Staff School Attendance met District and State Goals

No Place for Hate Designation 2024-2025

National Junior Beta Club School of Distinction and Merit 2025

College and Career Motivation Week Winner First Place Winner for Elementary Schools

Power Through Prevention Youth Action Team-Be the Voice for Change!

We want our scholars to continue soaring without having to worry about basic school supplies. With your support, our scholars will be provided with book bags and pencil pouches. They will also receive the items included on their class supply list such as pencils, pens, notebook paper, composition books, three ring binders, crayons, color pencils, glue, scissors and dry erase supplies.

Some scholars walk to and from school during inclement weather and need rain ponchos.

Your support will help us achieve our goal to ensure our scholars are equipped with the supplies needed to have a strong start to the 25-26 school year.
