During the week of March 18th through March 22nd, LPS will be partnering with The Pulsera Project, a fair trade nonprofit organization that seeks to empower, inspire, and educate people in Central America and the U.S.
The Pulsera Project work opportunities for nearly 200 artisans in Nicaragua and Guatemala, who make colorful hand-woven bracelets, or “pulseras” in Spanish. The project then creates a market for their artwork by partnering with schools across the U.S.
Pulseras will be sold for $5 here in our school, and the proceeds will be invested in a wide range of social impact programs in Nicaragua & Guatemala, including:
* Sustained employment for nearly 200 artists
* Legal and medical aid for those impacted by the crisis in Nicaragua
* Secondary education programs
* University scholarships for artisans and their families
* Healthcare for artisans and their families
* A housing program for artisans and their families
* Environmental initiatives
* Support for other social enterprises doing impactful work in these countries
We hope this will be a highlight of the school year as students engage with the beauty of Latin American culture while lending support to these skilled artisans and their communities!
Funding for gifted and talented is in jeopardy in Texas
Funding for gifted and talented is in jeopardy in Texas, and we are calling on our parents to help. In its current form, House Bill 3 removes the funding allotment for gifted and talented programs. To save gifted and talented funding, please contact your state representative and state senator to let them know how necessary gifted and talented programs are to serving the needs of students at Leadership Prep School.
