"The grant allowed me to build an incredible recording studio for both the rock and roll club and the School of Rap club at Montera Middle School.
The joy and excitement is palpable, and students tell me how much they look forward to utilizing the studio for their projects. Thank you, A to Z! I can't wait to share the music we create."
-Elijah Behar, Montera Middle School: “Rock and Roll Club"
"I cannot say just how amazingly life-changing this experience was for the students. They were so happy to experience indoor skydiving as a means to connect with science, but also as a way to develop their courage and resilience during experiences."
-Jose Arriaga, Community United Elementary School: "Skydive into 6th Grade!"

“The A to Z Mini Grant did wonders for our school! We were able to set up new systems for literacy that helped identify where students may need help in literacy, embracing the idea that learning requires consistency to really see any change…The hope for our school is to continue working towards the goal of literacy proficiency with excellence! Thank you for this opportunity to achieve as we believe we can!
- Victoria Gambrell, Sankofa United Elementary: “R.E.A.D Read WE CAN READ"
