“Every Child Deserves to Start School with Confidence”
In Grays Harbor County, hundreds of kids show up without the basics. Together, we change that.
​
In 2016, we served over 400 students.
In 2017, we served over 850 students
In 2023, we served over 1200 students.
In 2024, we served over 1300 students.
"Because confidence starts before the first bell."
