Thanks to your funding, we were able to successfully host two eight-week educational groups for high school seniors who will be the first in their families to explore postsecondary options in the United States.\r\n\r\nYour generosity directly enabled us to provide our students with essential materials, including books, printed resources, and planning guides, all of which played a vital role in supporting their understanding of the college and career planning process. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, we were able to offer lunch, and other key supports during each session, allowing students to focus, engage, and build community in a welcoming and supportive environment.\r\n\r\nThese groups were more than just informational sessions, they became safe spaces where students could explore their dreams, ask questions, and feel empowered to take the next steps in their educational journeys. Your contribution helped make that possible.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our students, their families, and our entire team, thank you for believing in this work and in the futures of these remarkable young people.

No more stomach growling distractions with the snack you provided. A little ease of mind when they stepped into my room made the 1st two weeks of school a breeze!

Your support has made it possible for each student to have their own copy of this profound and beautifully written novel—an experience that is both empowering and deeply enriching. The opportunity to read and discuss Baldwin's work together, with books in hand, has sparked meaningful conversations around identity, love, and the complexities of human connection. It's been inspiring to see students engage with the text on such a personal level.\r\n\r\nYour gift has done more than provide books—it has opened a door to literature that challenges, affirms, and broadens perspectives. For many students, this was their first encounter with Baldwin's powerful voice, and the impact has been lasting. Thank you for believing in the importance of literature in education and for helping us build a classroom where every voice can be heard and every story can be valued.
