Hey First name / Friend,

 

During this season of gratitude, we have a long list of things to be grateful for, like adding another dynamic school to our member community. Welcome to St. Luke's School in NYC's West Village! We value schools that align with our intention to enhance culturally responsive access to great schools and to inspire and develop enrolled families to leverage the independent school investment and journey toward legacy. 

 

RIISE appreciates our indy school alum and how they have chosen to advance their school's capacity for cultural shifts making a community better for current and future young scholars. Our recent alum crush is Delonte Egwuatu! Listen to Delonte on Articulating -an independent school podcast, talk about accountability partnerships through Black Alumni Collective and HACKBAC. This social justice impact hackathon helps black and brown scholars make their idea a reality by playing with the concept of genius! 

 

Of course, we thank our young scholars for being curious, confident, and aware of what they need to thrive -we remain advocates for you! 

 

We also extend gratitude to our school leadership, who steadfastly provide the tools for the next generation of young people to lead innovatively with inclusive and compassionate values. We love the expansion of leaders of color -shout out to POCC's recent recognition of Heads of School!
