We’re celebrating the educational achievements of the hard working students at Tulsa’s McLain High School! The Tulsa Equality Indicators Annual Report states “the suspension rate for Black students is more than 3 times the rate for Hispanic/Latinx students, and Black youth are arrested at over 5 times the rate of White youth.” Those are Tulsa’s alarming school-to-prison-pipeline statistics. Your donation helps to change that by incentivizing our youth to strive for the prizes they want by achieving their highest academic performance. There are ten spots for Straight A winners to each receive a $300 gift card. Also ten spots for Most Improved Grades to receive $150 gift card. We are asking for community members to donate $5 or more to invest in the future of our kids. Help us create the intrinsic desire for academic excellence and elevate our community.
