As a parent and a teacher I am doubly aware of the need for students to start off each school year well. The MAM Back to School initiative provides families in need with vouchers / gift cards to purchase new school clothes for their children. This enables the kids to start day one feeling their best. In teacher terms, we call this "lowering the affective filter"... essentially, reducing barriers to learning.
Thank you for your support!
