Cornerstone Partnership Update

The Cornerstone Partnership has had a busy and exciting start to the season, and we are grateful to share the impact being made in our community:
  • School Readiness: More than 50 students were connected with essential school supplies, and over 30 students received new school clothes to help them start the year off strong.
  • Family Empowerment: Two new parents have taken steps toward their own educational journey by enrolling in college for the fall quarter.
  • Early Learning: Ten preschool scholarships have already been awarded, allowing children to attend four different local preschool programs.

As the weather begins to cool, warm coats and hats are available for any students in need. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if your family could benefit.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to host a college visit day with parents on September 18th. Any parents interested in joining are encouraged to connect with us for details.

Finally, our community garden is thriving! Families are welcome to stop by, harvest fresh vegetables, and enjoy time together in the garden. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with your children and explore healthy food grown right here in our neighborhood.

We’re grateful for the continued support of families and community members who make these opportunities possible. Every step forward strengthens our partnership and ensures brighter futures for our students.
