More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education.
Each year we have students who are accepted into college but end up not attending simply because they do not have the basic things needed to move into the dorm; items that you and I take for granted. In an effort to support and encourage these students, we’re trying to put together a special event-- a college shower. Students can be nominated by teachers and will be selected by the shower committee based on need. Each student who is invited to the shower will receive a special college care package. I am requesting in kind items, gift certificates in any denomination, or a monetary donation, so that we can put together a college shower.
