50 Lockers in 50 Days - COMPLETE!
The Middle School at McCutcheon Elementary that is located in the branch building on Kenmore has never had lockers. Students have been required to carry all of their belongings from classroom to classroom all day. We've fixed this. In conjunction with Principal Kahinde Longmire and the Local School Council, we raised $15,000 in 50 days to provide the needed funds to order and install the lockers that will last for decades. By working together, we made this long-lasting change and support the growth of executive functioning for the students as they progress towards high school.
Thank you to the supporters from FIVE countries and 22 States!
We have big things planned. Stay tuned!
