A Pledge

As long as there are natural disasters and poverty in schools this charity will be there to help children. Schools are one of those institutions that has to be ever present to help the kids. Imagine the students going throughout life without the opportunity to get a decent education. Imagine the many voids in their lives.

Some years ago there was federal legislation, well meaning as it was, called 'No Child Left Behind.' That phrase and mission is as important today - and will be well into the future - as it was two decades ago at its inception.

Schools Count is about as small of a charitable group as one can find but that doesn't mean that we aren't helping children and their families and, by extension, their communities. Keeping students in schools and providing them with real opportunities is our mission.

Thanks,
Dick
