This is Kevin diving through the hoop, with his twin brother “Mo-Mo” on his heels. I wanted you to meet him, because you helped make his after school scholarship possible through your recent gift! Recently, it was circus day at Kids Co. and as you can see in this photo, they were doing what little boys do exceeding well–burning off energy! Kevin and his brother are first-graders who attend Kids Co. at South Shore on scholarship. Their parents both work and provide a stable, loving home for the boys, but finances are stretched for this young family. The Kids Co. scholarships Kevin and Mo-Mo receive make a huge difference in the life of this family. As an aside, you might like to hear that Kevin was just recognized for being one of the most improved first grade students in the school for standardized test scores, what Seattle Public Schools refers to as MAP (Measuring Academic Progress). This little boy you are helping out is going places!
Thanks for caring about Kevin and kids like him. They are our future!
John Benner Program Manager, Kids Co. at South Shore
