CLASS OF 2021

Class of 2021 Parents - It's the last week of National Gratitude Month, and we are so grateful to be celebrating our Seniors. We are still planning and raising funds for all of the Class of 2021 graduation events including Senior Prom, Baccalaureate, Senior Breakfast, the all-night Grad Night celebration, and student scholarships to all activities. Because we are unable to gather for our usual fundraising events, we ask you to please donate to the Class of 2021 events. For updates, please follow us here. We ask for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we go through this together. Happy Thanksgiving and cheers to the Class of 2021!

Mission InspirED - College Student Series

LOOKING FOR HIGH SCHOOLER CAMP TEACHERS!

Since quarantine, we realized that many kids didn’t have a lot to do at home, especially elementary students. That is why this summer, Free Camp 4 Kids was started! Our goal is to provide a place for kids to interact with each other while learning something new from high schoolers who would serve as both instructors and mentors. We were able to host various classes such as guitar, singing, book club, robotics, and more!

We are an all-volunteer organization aiming to help kids experience fun and develop passion. The camps are free, which give all students the ability to participate without having to worry about financial burdens.

Due to the huge success and positive feedback, we are continuing this camp during the school year.

However, due to the increase in demand, we are in need of more members to help organize and run this club.

Here are the members we need

· 1 secretary to take notes and organize

· 3 members to evaluate classes and organize it

· 2 members to advertise and contact schools

If you are interested, please contact me at freecamp4kids@gmail.com
