Sadly, today is our last day of afterschool with students for this school year. It has been an extraordinary year of new connections and experiences. I will give you some stats from our end-of-semester surveys in the next few weeks – always cool to see what the students have to say. As we wrap up this year and begin looking at their survey responses, we thought you might appreciate hearing what a few students had to say.
“LIFT has brought me joy and hope in many years of my life where things were rough for me. Ranging from break-ups to issues with dealing with family trauma. LIFT, and the staff here have always been there not only to listen to me, but also guide me.”
“LIFT has helped me get closer connections with my peers and has given me a space to be myself. I often look forward to attending afterschool.”
“It has helped with my anger and compassion and really made me aspire to become a leader.”
“LIFT has helped me in so many ways, mostly with my school work and depression. So, I’m really grateful for everything!”
Thank you for helping to make these afternoons possible – thank you for sacrificing so that they can be sustained – thank you for understanding just how much your support means to our students!
