Single Parent Student in Need of Assistance with a Summer School Fee
A hardworking Westerville South student is determined to get back on track academically so she can attend the career center next year. During her freshman year, she fell behind after beginning the school year on a medical absence following the birth of her child. Since returning, she has been working hard to take ownership of her education while balancing the responsibilities of being both a student and a parent.
Summer school would allow her to catch up on credits and stay on track for this important next step. She needs $100 fee for the summer school program.Thank you so much for considering this request and for all you do to support students in our community.

Help Westerville Students Succeed: Devices Needed
We’re reaching out for local students who currently do not have access to a computer or reliable way to complete digital assignments at home. As so much of today’s learning depends on online platforms, this lack of access is making it difficult for them to keep up with schoolwork and fully engage in their education. These students are motivated and want to succeed- they just need the tools to do so. Your support can directly impact their ability to learn, grow, and stay on track academically. We’re hoping to find 7 donated laptops or Chromebooks to help bridge this gap and make a meaningful difference. Monetary donations can also be to help purchase devices.
Westerville South seniors without devices for college
We’re supporting two graduating seniors who have shown incredible determination while navigating unstable housing situations. Despite these challenges, both students have been accepted to college and are committed to continuing their education this fall. As they prepare for this next chapter, having a reliable laptop or Chromebook is essential for their success in college. New or gently used laptops or Chromebooks would be appreciated.
