ARISE's second year off to a great start

Submitted by laura on Thu, 2008-09-11 01:37.

On August 25th, we began our second school year and welcomed approximately 70 new students into our community.  Returning students as well as the new ones didn't recognize the space, thanks to the amazing job that the Unity Council did in turning the space into a real school with classrooms, walls, ceilings, bathrooms, sinks, water fountains, and more! It looks beautiful, we have some exciting programs and talented new teachers, and everything is terrific except our finances! Thanks to a number of factors, including the state budget impasse, we are very much in need of money.  If you would like to help, you can donate online at http://arisehighschool.chipin.com/arise-high-school.
