Knowing is Half the Battle

For a couple years now, Seeds has been fortunate to partner with Peter Howell Elementary, its staff, and its families. Peter Howell is a Title I school, which  means that 

at least 40% of its students are in poverty. In attendance at Peter Howell are many 

refugee,          

low-income,        

single-parent,          

and otherwise needy households. 

One first grade classroom recently had over 9 primary languages represented! We are now in the process of putting together a comprehensive needs assessment for the neighborhood surrounding the school to get a pulse on the demographics and genuine needs for the neighborhood. This is an incredibly important step in understanding what the neighborhood really needs from non-profit organizations like our own. It will help us to create effective programs for Howell, its families, and surrounding neighbors. 

This needs assessment needs your help to get off the ground! We need volunteers to 

package the survey,                 

lick envelopes,                    

and most importantly,to deliver it to the neighbors. 

We would like to schedule a distribution day within the next couple of months.
