Schools are working hard every day to help children in our community succeed, but many are still struggling. Since kids are only in school for 20% of their waking hours, we need to look beyond schools to make sure all kids have the supports they need to thrive. SomerPromise brings together the school district and community organizations to coordinate services and resources in new ways to support kids and their families both in and out of school.
