Thornton, let’s come together to celebrate resilience! 🎓✨
As your City Councilman, I am incredibly moved by the mission of the Pathways Future Center School. They are supporting a remarkable group of graduates—including unaccompanied youth and parenting students—who have overcome significant hurdles to reach the finish line.
For many of these students, a graduation gift isn’t just a reward; it’s a vital lifeline. These gift booklets provide essentials like food, gas, and groceries to help them transition into their next chapter.
I am proud to personally donate to this project, and I’m inviting you to join me. Whether it’s sponsoring a full booklet or donating essential “swag” like detergent or deodorant, every bit makes a difference.
Let’s show these grads that their community stands behind them!
How You Can Help: 💰 Sponsor a Full Booklet: Approx. $70 (Covers food, gas, & more) 💳 Gift Cards: Groceries and gas are the most requested! 🧼 Essential Swag: Donate items like deodorant or household basics.
📅 Key Dates:
• May 11: Gift Card delivery deadline
• May 15: Swag/Gift delivery deadline
• May 19: Distribution Day!
