MORE ABOUT THIS YEAR'S
GALA RECIPIENT:
SIMPSON STREET FREE PRESS
For more than 20 years, the
Simpson Street Free Press
(SSFP) has been a frontrunner
in the battle against the
achievement gap plaguing our
area schools. SSFP’s free of
charge after school program
provides rigorous academic
instruction to kids ages 8 – 18
that supports and enhances their
school day experience. Students
receive individualized reading
and language arts instruction
through a challenging research
and writing-based process,
and each child contributes
their work to a published
student newspaper. These
student writers come from all
socio-economic backgrounds,
represent a multitude of races,
and have varying degrees of
school success when they start
the program, but every single
child in the program makes
significant academic progress.
This year, 100% of high school
seniors who participated in
the SSFP program not only
graduated, but will be attending
college this fall.
Here’s how your tax-deductible donation will help:
$25
Provide 5 books for middle school book clubs
$50
Sponsor a student article
