Program Services

Description	Grants	Expenses
Our Strong Start project served 16 pre-kindergarten students with activities that served to give them a great start for school. This project provided transportation services and offered seven sessions on Saturdays during the months of July and August for the students. Thirteen of our students lived in subsidized housing and came from families that had income below the poverty level. The students practiced responsibly walking in line, taking turns, sharing and listening to stories. They enjoyed a heavy and light snack each time they came. They also received two books during each session to build their home library. Those students scheduled to start kindergarten at a school that required uniforms received one new uniform to support their strong school start.	$0	$6,000
Bright Hopes Perfect School Attendance Challenge was created to encourage all students in the schools we serve to attend school every day.	$0	$3,675
Bright Hopes Attendance Challenge Club was created to assist students that missed nine or more school days during first semester. Students are challenged to cut their absences by 50% during second semester. Over half of the students that participate improve their school attendance by greater than 50%.	$0	$3,000
