Our priority is to suport the schools we serve by augmenting learning so that every child attending Bright Stars will perform at or above grade level in reading and mathematics. This priority supports the need to close the achievement gap that exist in many of the schools we serve in our program.

Academic: In 2023 academic school year our organization provided after school and summer camp programs, where we assessed the unique needs of 53 student participants. We were able to provide appropriate academic support and assistance. The participating scholars primarily attended low-perfoming schools. Our non-profit provided a daily pickup services for our students 5 days per week to bring students to our after school program. The students were greeted by qualified teachers that assisted them with learning resources and materials. The program was also able to provide daily snacks. 0 31571 Extended Enrichment: In 2023 our program connected learning to real life hands on experiences in the areas of Science, TechnologyEngineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) Upon recieving academic enrichment, with the use of ongoing assessments, we found that at the end of the academic year80% of the students that attended the program were at or above grade level in reading 0 31571 Summer Camp: In 2023 our non-profit provided 8 weeks of summer camp,and based on pre and post-test, 98% of our campers were on grade level or above in reading. Our organization also focused on parent engagement. Parents were given an opportunity to visit their childs classrooms, and engaged in their childs work products and displays.Parent involvement provided evidence of academic and personal growth for their children. 0 31570 94712 Pearline Borders-Thomas Executive Director 24.00 3525 0 0 Joyce Black Lead Teacher 24.00 13726 0 0 Clothel Jarvis Classroom Teacher 24.00 13247 0 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 false false Fred Wilson 10321 Billingham Drive Charlotte NC 28269 7046182095 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 45000 52133 81035 91645 269813 0 0 45000 52133 81035 91645 269813 0 269813 0 0 0 269813 1.00000 X 0 0 0 Form 990EZ, Part I, Line 16 Software Purchases 650.
