This strategy allows for varied instruction and methodological approaches that is grade level specific. Individualized support allows for deeper learning and personalized attention. Tutors are able to tailor the instruction specifically to the scholar's learning style, pace, and needs. This has improved their academic performance in ELA. We currently have 90% of our scholars on A or A/B honor roll. In 2022-2023 academic year, Rise & Shine served 39 scholars (a 23% increase over 2021-22). Of this number, 16 scholars were Black, 11 were Bi-Racial, 7 were White and 5 were spanish. Demographics that demonstrate our scholars' need for support: -All of our scholars qualified for free or reduced school meals during the 2022-2023 school year. -80% of our scholars are living in a single-parent household. -We witnessed a 45% decrease over the previous year in scholars who were being raised by a grandparent or guardian. We attribute this decline to our monthly parenting program (a requirement for parents and guardians of accepted scholars) and are encouraged to see the results of this impact within our community as parents begin to embrace their responsibility. 2. Guided Reading is our strategic process used to provide differentiated teaching that supports students in developing reading proficiency. It has helped our scholars develop better control of their reading process through the development of reading strategies which assist decoding and construct meaning. They have learned to read for meaning and build the stamina to read difficult text, develop comprehension abilities and continue to improve their thinking process. Guided Reading is the umbrella to literacy enrichment. The enrichment extensions consist of the Book Club and DEAR: Drop Everything And Read (independent reading). Both of these strategies allow us to encourage our scholars to read for fluency and vocabulary, whether independently or in group settings. Group settings help to build self-confidence and public speaking with a focus on delivery, communication, and collaboration. The ultimate outcome is that they have become strategic readers. Reading fluency is 90% overall. 3. Enrichments have provided our scholars the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom and allows them to explore education in a fun more relaxed setting. This has allowed the scholars to explore courses across curriculum that are now more interesting and meaningful. The biggest reward is that it allows our scholars to explore the content more in-depth with hands-on, project-based activities. Our population of disadvantaged youth has an opportunity to reach beyond what is present with disregard to their economic status and limitations to explore and use their imagination for the things that they would not normally have the opportunity to participate in. Enrichments have very significant positive impacts for our scholars and contribute to leveling up and addressing skills gaps with interactive projects. With a host of partners that share their expertise: Artistic Expressions, 4H- Health Sciences, SEL Volunteers our scholars are provided opportunities to build skill sets that are transferable both across curriculum, but through education and beyond to the world of work. We currently have 95% of students participating routinely. The others are seasonally participating in extracurricular activities at school. We consider them present with encouragement to allow for building social skills, teamwork efforts that help to develop the whole child. 192355 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 true false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true false false NC X X John Weitzel 8032407835 290 Oakdale Street Brevard NC 28712 William Mills Executive Director 40.00 X 29802 0 0 Julia Gray Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Tommie Kilgore Vice Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 John Weitzel Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda Vandeweghe Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Gloria Williamson Assistant Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 William Bell Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Holder Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Land Cislo Board Member 1.00 X 18860 0 0 Deb Le Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Perry Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Refsland Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emily Webb Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Wellborn Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kita Williams Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 48662 0 0 false false false 40495 31503 376601 448599 7537 0 7537 3072 300 3072 300 3372 0 0 3372 0 40495 15768 -15768 0 -15768 443740 0 0 -4859 29802 15051 4425 10326 147824 111381 26931 9512 13912 6635 2633 4644 3800 0 3800 0 19386 19386 932 0 932 0 18818 0 853 17965 7296 3314 3982 0 4013 1439 1439 1135 8231 4116 4115 0 215 0 215 0 4893 2446 2447 0 7954 1888 6066 0 After School Program 28005 28005 0 0 Program Supplies 6823 6823 0 0 Summer Program 11257 11257 0 0 Professional Development 1190 0 1190 0 4017 0 1653 2364 318368 192355 60681 65332 175184 201437 208058 312659 842 50102 40612 13103 9490 94525 104009 490870 628437 4678 10971 4678 10971 X 297560 350329 188632 267137 486192 617466 490870 628437 125372 5902 X true X false true false X 0 191028 341074 226866 431254 448599 1638821 0 0 191028 341074 226866 431254 448599 1638821 341279 1297542 946 7402 1423 3124 7537 20432 0 1216 0 0 0 0 1216 1660469 58005 0.78140 0.90060 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Other Income 2019: 1216. 2020: 0. 2021: 0. 2022: 0. 2023: 0.
