    Being able to create and collaborate with visuals has allowed them to grow comfortable with their voices as well as learning what they Can achieve together!

    This could not have been done without your gracious donations! Thank you for continuing to invest in their futures! Our stars truly appreciate it!”

    This school year we are doing our book study on a book called Believe to Achieve by Howard H White. We are reading chapters every other Friday and having dialogue around goal setting and creating a vision for ourselves . The students are having a great time with the book but also the discussions. Half of them bought the book just to read ahead! This book study has strengthened their reading skills, note taking skills, and their ability to create assignments based on the reading! Their final project will be a vision board at the end of the year ! Thank you so much for contributing to their learning my stars are so grateful!”
