Giving Tuesday is Tomorrow!
Dear Chavez Supporter,
Thank you for all of the support you’ve shown to Chavez in past years. The 2022-23 school year has brought new challenges to our school community as we continue to recover from years of disruption due to COVID and our community continues to be touched regularly by violence. Despite these challenges, we were recently recognized as 1 of 14 Bold Performance Schools in Washington, DC. We are excited about the great things happening at Chavez and the opportunities that lie before us.
Our #GivingTuesday goal to raise $25,000 is to support our Peer Group Connection Program (PGC). PGC provides valuable peer support to many of our young scholars whose living situations are very fragile. PGC is a peer mentoring and leadership development program that builds essential skills and connections for our high school scholars. PGC leaders train 11th and 12th graders to be peer leaders and group facilitators for 9th-grade scholars during their advisory periods on Wednesdays, and their efforts have demonstrated improvements in scholars’ academic, social, and emotional skills.
Thank you for helping us achieve our #GivingTuesday goal. We are confident that PGC will continue to impact the academic achievement of our many scholars who need additional support the most. You are helping us achieve our mission to prepare scholars for success in competitive colleges, and empowering them to use public policy to create a more just, free, and equal world.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kourtney Miller
Head of Schools
