I’m always here to help with your real estate questions and
needs. But today, I’m turning the tables: I need your help for a project that stirs my passion.
I am a school board member for the E.L. Haynes Public
Charter School in northwest Washington, D.C. E.L. Haynes is one of the highest
performing charter schools in the city. Our school outperforms other charter
schools citywide year after year.
Unfortunately, we have difficult issues to address.
Two-thirds of our students come from low-income households, and these children
often face difficult challenges. Citywide, just 9 percent of Washington, D.C.,
public school graduates earn college degrees within five years of receiving
their diplomas. Our city is starved for quality high schools.
At E.L. Haynes, we want to turn these statistics around.
Construction on E.L. Haynes is well underway. $20 million of
public and private money has been invested to turn an abandoned site into a
leading-edge school devoted to educate our children and become a growing,
dynamic part of our community.
But there is a problem: we have a $300,000 gap – a gap we
need to fill by the end of 2012.
There are three ways to get involved:
1.Take a tour of this beautiful building.
2. Watch and share this video with
friends, family and neighbors.
3. Make a gift to the E.L. Haynes Public Charter
School. Your support will go a long way toward making public charter school
education possible in our city.
To learn more about the E.L. Haynes and to take a tour and donate, contact Julie Green, the lead fundraiser for the school. Email her at jgreen@elhaynes.org or call her at (202) 667-4446.
Your generous gift will help ensure that Washington, D.C.,
kids have a quality education and a chance at a successful future.
