Thank you to Mite for pouring into local students in need and helping to supply 2,500 kids with supplies for class! Your partnership is invaluable! #mite #project58 #pencilsintopossibilities #educationcrisis
This one is near & dear to our hearts as it takes place in our own hometown of Charlotte, NC. During visits to local schools, our team heard the same message from teachers: "When a child lacks basic supplies, even something as simple as a pencil, it can mean losing the student, the lesson, and sometimes an entire day of learning. This reality is too true in Charlotte's lower-income neighborhoods, where only 1 in 5 students read proficiently by 4th grade — an eye opening fact that inspired our giving community to step in and support these Charlotte area students through Project 58. Through our partnership with Classroom Central 2,500 students in low income areas now have essential school supplies. Your generosity has not only filled backpacks but also removed barriers to learning, providing much-needed relief to teachers who often bear the financial burden themselves. Let’s celebrate the little scholars!
