The Glover Empower Mentoring (GEM) team provides an opportunity to reduce suspension time for students with long-term suspensions lasting a minimum of five days. GEM uses the understanding of the ABC (Attendance, Behavior, Course performance) early warning indicators as a guide for student success. Youth enrolled in this program will be given a chance to look at the behaviors that resulted in their suspension. Focusing on the root cause of the behavior and identifying goals that will improve relationships. Coursework approved by Kent School District (KSD) will be accessible for students to complete math, science, and language arts while they are not present on campus.
We are looking for 100 backpacks with school supplies to be donated in support of the continued education of our youth in K-8. These will be given out at a community event on Aug 4th, 2023.
