Original Six Foundation

The O6 Afterschool program is officially underway for the 2024-25 school year in 12 public schools in 8 SC counties! The first day of programming at Jonesville Elementary/Middle School in #UnionCountySC was filled with academic enrichment, dance, and STEAM with a hands-on project focused on density. The O6 team appreciates partnering with the passionate educators at JEMS! #afterschoolprogramsmatter #afterschool #southcarolina #originalsixfoundation #education #earlyliteracy #loveSCschools #everychildmatters

Sending a huge O6 thank you to these Bank of America Columbia, SC volunteers for investing their time in the students we serve! In the spring, this office held a book drive for our My First Library students, now they’re back helping stamp and sort books for our next round of My First Library Book Fairs. We couldn’t distribute over 30,000 books to more than 3,000 SC students without partners like BOA! #earlyliteracymatters #readersareleaders #books #ruraleducation #nonprofit #originalsixfoundation #thankyou

When you support the Original Six Foundation you make it possible for students to get homework help in small group settings from some of the greatest educators in the business! We value our partnership with Denmark-Olar Elementary School school in #BambergCountySC. #O6Afterschool #afterschoolmatters #ruraleducation #afterschoolprogramsmatter #loveSCschools #earlyliteracy #careerexploration #workforcedevelopment

The O6 team appreciated the opportunity to share our story with the Colleton County School Board. The #OriginalSixFoundation proudly partners with six #ColletonCountySC schools through our #O6Afterschool and #MyFirstLibrary programs. The passion Colleton County Superintendent of Education Jessica Williams has for her students is inspiring! #afterschoolprogramsmatter #earlyliteracymatters #everychildmatters #ruraleducation #southcarolina

Here's the difference.... Some afterschool programs operate similar to a babysitting service giving students a place to stay after the school day ends until someone can pick them up. Through #O6Afterschool, the Original Six Foundation invests in talented SC public schools teachers in rural and underserved communities. The Original Six team partners with those educators to implement quality afterschool programs that combine homework help, hands-on learning and fun to students in grades 2-8 right at their school. That way, working parents can finish their day and the students can remain in a safe and nurturing educational environment afterschool. Funded by donors who support the Original Six Foundation, there is never a charge to attend, and all services offered are free. The children who attend #O6Afterschool depend on your support. Due to program growth, we need your help more than ever. Please help spread the word about what we do, and consider donating to the Original Six Foundation. Every dollar truly matters: https://lnkd.in/gGZ4EFdP
