A Partner’s View: Why Seminary Baptist Church Trusts Uplift Academy
Without these programs, the students may not have been able to realize their potential and succeed. This is a volunteer position for me; however, I am well paid when I see them socializing and encouraging each other, when I receive an excited telephone call with the message, "Dr. Schaeffer, I did it. I got accepted" at a school of his/her choice.
Thanksgiving Food Distribution Brings Warmth to Families
In the spirit of gratitude and community, UPLIFT Academy organized a Thanksgiving Food Distribution event at two of our partner locations—Alaaka Association and Masjid Fallahee. With the help of local administration teams, we identified families in need and ensured that support reached those who could benefit most during the holiday season.
A Day of Fun and Bonding at Funplex!
UPLIFT Academy's College Path Mentorship (CPM) mentees took a well-deserved break from their academic journey for a day of fun, laughter, and camaraderie at Funplex. The day was filled with excitement as students enjoyed thrilling rides, games, and other attractions. This outing allowed mentees to bond with their peers, unwind, and recharge for the academic challenges ahead.
Math & Coding: Building Strong Foundations for the Future
On October 26, 2024, we launched our Math & Coding program for 8th and 9th-grade students at Alaaka, beginning with an engaging orientation session for students. This program is designed to strengthen students’ foundational math skills while introducing them to essential concepts in computer programming, fostering both analytical thinking and creativity.
