Backpacks, shoes & uniforms ready to be distributed!
Backpacks, uniforms, and notebooks are bought and our students are getting ready to go back to school. Starfish programming started back up Monday April 29 and school classes start today for most schools! We can't wait to see what this new year has in store for our students in their schools.
Guasmo Scholars with Jenn and new employee Marcos!
Flor de Bastión Scholars with new employees Jasmin and Tyrone!
For Starfish a new year means a full year of tutoring, monthly meetings and community service. This year one of our biggest community service initiatives will involve a few fundraising projects. In Guasmo we will be in a new space - a move initiated by our students who were ready to have a safe space to call their own. To pay the rent for our new classroom, the students suggested we raise the money through opening up a small store to sell snacks and planning a bingo in the neighborhood to raise money. Stay tuned throughout the year as we work toward our goal and in the meantime check out our new space!
