As the school year begins, we shift our focus to educational empowerment. This cycle provides students with essential resources for academic success, including teacher resources, school supplies, tutoring services and so much more. We also support -school programs that foster learning, creativity, and growth, ensuring that every child has the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and we are dedicated to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

2023 Northern Nevada Teachers Classroom Wishlist Grant Winners:
Sepulveda Elementary School Leadership Class:
We recently had the honor of surprising an amazing group of 5th grade students from Miguel Sepulveda Elementary School’s Leadership Class with an unexpected check to cover the costs of sending them to a local, mid-level leadership conference!
This exceptional group of young leaders are paving the way for elementary school leadership and are the first group to attend a conference at that level. We could not be more proud to support them!
​
With the help of an outstanding group of teachers, School Counselor Maegen Rae Tolley piloted the program back in October 2022 and in a very short time this group has accomplished some big goals! Including..... hosting Sepulveda’s first annual trunk or treat event, setup of the School’s Valentine’s Day Dance (which hosted 1300 people) as well as a donation drive to gather items to make holiday bags for kids at Renown’s Children’s Hospital.
​
‘They have been able to learn skills such as how to start a fundraiser, talk on the phone to different agencies to help facilitate this fundraiser. They participated in kindness week filling Sepulveda with kindness throughout days of the week. The students are go-getters who are looking to expand their leadership skills, and take what they have learned to their middle and high school levels.’
​
These kids are special and we are so proud to celebrate and support them! Our communities’ futures looks a lot brighter after spending time with this group, they are going to do great things and are on a mission to make this world a more positive place to be!
​
A huge thank you to…
