Our Title 1 middle school has a majority of students with free/reduced lunch who avail themselves of the free breakfast as well. Without these two options, limited meals would affect our students' ability to learn. This exceptional school has a robotic engineering program where we try to wring out every cent so that our students have the same opportunities that other neighborhoods enjoy. All faculty tutor before the school day begins because many children are dropped off very early in the morning. Food baskets are created and distributed by faculty. There is a great need within the county to assist those around us. In spite of these challenges, our school of learning ranks highly on all high stakes testing required. Our science and math scores are consistently higher each year. One of our greatest gains last year was among our SPED population. These are our students that will benefit directly from your assistance. They are amazing and I am inspired each day. Thank you!
