THESE CYCLONES EMBODY OUR MODEL OF AGENCY, ACCELERATION, AND AUTONOMY. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISH DURING THEIR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL! LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS MONUMENTAL TIME FOR THESE THREE SCHOLARS AND OUR ORGANIZATION HERE. SINCE OUR OPENING IN 2020, WE HAVE PRIORITIZED A MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO LITERACY DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOLERS. WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY SELECTED AND IMPLEMENTED CURRICULA THAT PRIORITIZE THE STORIES AND VOICES OF AUTHORS WHO SHARE OUR STUDENTS' IDENTITY MARKERS. WE HAVE UTILIZED THE READING APPRENTICESHIP FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT STUDENTS TO THINK METACOGNITIVELY AS THEY NAVIGATE ACADEMIC TEXTS. IN ADDITION TO THESE TIER 1 EFFORTS, WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY USED DATA TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS STUDENTS' READING GAPS THROUGH TARGETED INTERVENTION INITIATIVES. WE SAW THE FRUITS OF THESE EFFORTS WHEN OUR FOUNDING CLASS TOOK THE SAT IN THE SPRING OF 2023 AND SHOWED THAT 65% OF OUR BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS MET OR EXCEEDED PROFICIENCY IN EVIDENCE-BASED READING AND WRITING -COMPARED TO 42% PROFICIENCY FOR BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS NATIONWIDE. WHILE WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH 65% PROFICIENCY, WE ARE PLEASED TO SEE THAT OUR EFFORTS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. OUR FIRST GRADUATING CLASS CROSSED THE FINISH LINE IN MAY. THESE SIX SENIORS WORKED TIRELESSLY THROUGH THE PANDEMIC, TRANSFERRED SCHOOLS, AND EARNED OVER $180,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO UNIVERSITIES AND CAREER PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEIR HARD WORK THESE PAST THREE YEARS! THESE SCHOLARS JOINED US IN THEIR SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR YEARS. OUR FOUNDING CLASS WILL GRADUATE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR! 3669054 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 53 0 36 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 IN X BOOKKEEPING PLUS INC 3174622049 232 E MCCLARNON GREENFIELD IN 46140 KIMBERLY NEAL-BRANNUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 155684 0 26782 PATRICK JONES CHAIR 0.50 X X 0 0 0 HALEY HARSHMAN CO-CHAIR 0.50 X X 0 0 0 LATONYA TURNER CO-CHAIR 0.50 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER FULK SECRETARY 0.50 X X 0 0 0 MARQUES WHITMIRE TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 BUNMI AKINTOMIDE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 ANDRE BENNIN MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 DARIAN BOUIE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CANADA MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY CRAWLEY MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 DEREK DENNIS MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHRISTL GLIER MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 ALICIA HERVEY MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 155684 0 26782 1 0 1 0 IPS FOOD SERVICE 4125 PRODUCERS DRIVE INDIANAPOLIS IN 46208 FOOD SERVICE 114786 1 360610 2887193 1212125 4459928 169 169 OTHER INCOME 900099 22932 22932 22932 4483029 22932 0 169 X 173531 124256 49275 1615072 1167496 447576 32794 20791 12003 110184 58021 52163 147690 105466 42224 1500 1500 94760 94760 646130 609946 36184 25346 25346 261102 231465 29637 108924 94966 13958 130962 130962 74306 69557 4749 182040 182040 151792 151792 28904 28904 TRANSPORTATION 223906 223906 FOOD COSTS 209167 209167 EQUIPMENT 114528 114528 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 109300 109300 47058 36491 10567 4488996 3669054 819942 0 472522 1039753 203127 134363 9258 7345 3410476 236051 3023253 3174425 3708160 4355886 195094 523459 2911814 3237142 3106908 3760601 X 601252 595285 601252 595285 3708160 4355886 -5967 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2900000 136944 2763056 376214 54013 322201 49717 14024 35693 84545 31070 53475 3174425 NOTES PAYABLE 3237142 3237142 X 4483029 0 4483029 0 4483029 4488996 0 4488996 0 4488996 PART X, LINE 2: PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS REQUIRE BELIEVE SCHOOLS, INC.
