Overview

We all want our children to thrive and flourish into successful adulthood. While there are many contributing factors, few would disagree that education is a core contributor to every child’s success and opportunities to live well. As a community, we rely on our school districts and educators to provide quality education and equip youth with the skills and competencies that will support their success in the workplace, in higher education, in military service, and in community life. To ensure students are set up for future success and can come to school ready to learn, their basic needs must be met first.
