You could feel the energy in the room at last week’s Pinellas County Schools Mentor Kick-Off! We were grateful to be invited to join mentors and volunteers as they connected, explored volunteer opportunities, attended a Take Stock in Children Mentor Workshop, and prepared for the year ahead.

We appreciate everyone who is giving their time and support to make a positive impact on our students. We hope you left feeling energized and ready to help students dream big this year!

A full day of training on a Saturday, starting at 7 a.m., says a lot about the commitment of Pinellas County parents. 👏

Our CEO, Kim Jowell, was honored to serve as the keynote speaker at the PCCPTA training and share more about our Foundation's work in supporting student achievement. We’re grateful for the parents who make time for opportunities like this and give their time throughout the year to advocate for students and schools.

What could a little time and encouragement mean for a student? As a mentor in our Take Stock in Children mentoring program, you can make a lasting difference by meeting with a student for just 30 minutes every other week at their school. Through consistent support, encouragement and a meaningful connection, you can help a student stay on track toward their goals and future.

🍨🍦We had a scoop-er fun time at "Sundae School!"

Our Employee Engagement Committee kicked off the school year with Sundae School, complete with an ice cream sundae bar and Minute-to-Win-It challenges. From Cone Tower Stack to Sprinkle Sort and the Ice Cream Scoop Relay, our team had plenty of reasons to laugh, cheer each other on and enjoy some time together.

Last year, we celebrated these Take Stock in Children graduates as they crossed the stage and closed their high school chapters. This month they’re stepping onto college campuses, some for the first time, to pursue new opportunities and build the future they’ve worked so hard to create. We wish each of them a successful college journey and can’t wait to see where it takes them!

📘Reading doesn't have to stop when the school day ends. 📙

With support from our Classroom Grant, Ms. Donley created a School Community Book Club designed to bring students and their families together around a shared love of reading.

The hope? That one shared book becomes a family tradition.
