Raise money for Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School
Statistics show that students with learning challenges, who do not receive the support that they need, have a higher risk of dropping out of school, adult suicide, and homelessness. There is a huge impact on a child’s life and emotional wellbeing when they experience an educational program that is best suited to their needs: their self esteem and confidence increase drastically, and they begin to recognize their own personal growth. When students first walk through our doors, their confidence is low and they may feel that their prospects are limited due to their ongoing social and academic challenges.
Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School is a leader in the education of students with diverse learning challenges. We offer a place where they can come to be safe and experience a positive, life changing educational opportunity that will lead them to reach their full potential. KGMS prides itself in offering an inclusive community where all students can flourish.
