At RISE High, the students are nothing short of extraordinary. Many face unimaginable challenges—whether it's navigating the complexities of the foster care system, catching up on credits, reintegrating after incarceration, or even battling homelessness. Yet, their courage and conviction shine through as they arrive at school each day, ready and eager to learn.

The faculty at RISE aren't just educators; they're beacons of hope. They understand that education is just one part of the equation, and they're committed to providing a holistic approach that nurtures both mind and spirit.

That's why we at LumenSparQ were beyond thrilled to complete our gift—a maker cart for the previously donated creative supplies—to this incredible community. And the cherry on top? We got to deliver it during an art session led by another inspiring organization, Indivisible Arts. Witnessing the students engage in art, while knowing they now have additional resources to fuel their creativity, was a moment of pure joy for us all. See more on our Instagram!
