Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To support and encourage children's reading skills and teachers who inspire learning.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Roots and Wings provides afterschool educational programs for 1st through 4th grade public school students struggling with reading skills, & hosts an award program for public school teachers & staff who provide a superior learning environment.

  • Project UpLift, our free after school literacy program, began at Pine Grove in the fall of the 2017-18 school year as a 3rd grade after school program to help 30 struggling readers who were one or two grades below grade level. It began with 30 3rd grade students in that one school. By the 2023-24 school year, we were working with over 1,000 students in 13 title 1 public elementary schools

    Expenses $705,936 · Grants $390,050 · Revenue $734,956

  • The Above and Beyond Teacher and Staff Recognition program began in 2016 as a fun, celebratory way to honor the hard work of public school teachers who often go unrecognized. The awardees are chosen by their peers. Members of the Board of Roots and Wings, along with donors, Community leaders and interested members of our Community attend these award presentations. We have honored over 1,000 teachers and staff since its inception.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
