Annual Appeal for Student Growth
Dear Friends:
Thank you for your thoughtful support of After School Discovery throughout its 30 + year history. First generation Discovery - seasoned students are now young adults and demonstrating every day that they have been well-prepared for success as Citizens, Partners in Relationships, Parents, Employees and Professionals.
We are thankful and very proud of the work of the After School Discovery team of staff, partners and volunteers. At the same time, we are recognizing it is no longer enough. For every person After School Discovery reaches, there are others who aren't getting the experience and life skills they need to succeed.
​
Each year After School Discovery asks for your financial support. This year, we ask you to join us in reaching higher than ever before. We aim to take the steps necessary to reach far more of the students and families who deserve better opportunities in after school and summer learning.
This year along with the Annual appeal donation request, we have other ways you can support After School Discovery Programming for our students, we will have three fundraisers this fall: a Sip n Paint Event, a Happy Etchings Craft Event and of course, our annual Rivalry Run 5K or 1 mile. Please join in the excitement, fun and support for our children!

Our goal is not to replace teachers, parents and volunteers - we are working to help each be even more effective in their valuable roles.
The lack of adequate summer programs is recognized as the one of the primary causes of each child's summer slide between the end of the school year and first day of the following school year. The ASD Summer of Discovery helps to promote learning during the summer in academics, social and emotional skills, life skills in new and expanded ways. ASD Provides school year supports to students between preSchool and eighth grade, offering academic coaching, enrichments, social skills, life skills along with providing a safe, secure, caring environment to continue their learning and growth. Each year we provide services in a safe, secure, caring environment to over 600 students (number depends on funding sources, of course!)
Do we need help? Yes! We need you now more than ever before.
