KIPP
The KIPP school year culminated on May 31st, marking a momentous occasion for us as we had the privilege of supporting and guiding 35 remarkable students at KIPP ONE Academy. The enthusiasm and dedication with which we served them were truly exhilarating. As we reflect on this past year, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to further strengthen our partnership in the coming year, fostering continued growth and achievement for our students.
