This morning I am pleased to announce some new partnerships with portions of the Chicago Public Schools, AmericaSCORES and the Harvey Elementary School District. We are pleased to be able to serve more children in 2012!
Not only will we continue to aid the 28 schools we assisted in August of 2011 but we will work with some new schools on the west side of the city within the North Lawndale neighborhood. Going forward we will embark on partnerships with Pope Elementary, Johnson Elementary, Gregory Elementary and Chalmers.
Aside from providing desperately needed student and teacher supplies we will work with AmericaSCORES. AmericaSCORES is an after-school program in North Lawndale. They have a great literacy program and provide soccer to the children. I am certain we can help facilitate these initiatives.
We have already commenced our work with Harvey schools. Within the past month, Schools Count has provided over 100 coats to the students. We'll make our first delivery of student supplies to the kids in early August 2012. There are some wonderful people, we've already met, in the various Harvey neighborhoods.
In sum, we will be assisting over 40 Chicagoland schools this year. There is just one reason we can undertake such work...YOU, our generous donors and volunteers!
Many thanks!
Dick
