Save Redding's Morning Program
Redding families love our morning ACE program, which gets students off to a good start each day. The program was recently cut and we're working hard to restore it and raise $3,500 towards the program costs.
We are a Tenderloin school known for being one of the most diverse and integrated schools in the district, with over 25 languages being spoken by our families, and a new Arabic language program being developed this year! (read below for more information about our school)
Morning ACE is especially important for working families in the Tenderloin who have to be at work early. Your donation will mean a lot to us - it means that Redding's families and students can get off to a good start each morning! Thank you for your support!
We're a great school, but we don't have an affluent PTA with the money to fund programs like at some schools, so we are asking the broader community for your help! Please help us raise $3,500 to support morning ACE and get our students off to a positive start.
