Every Child Deserves a Future Fueled by Education

Dear Partners,

As we reflect on the chaotic world around us, one truth remains undeniable: every child deserves a future shaped by access to a strong, independent, and holistic school.

The only way out of a future clouded by inequality, misinformation, and stagnation is through a well-educated population. As this school year draws to a close, we must do two things: celebrate and continue the fight for a brighter future.

First, we celebrate. Celebrate our children—their accomplishments, their growth, their potential. Celebrate every lesson they’ve learned this year, every challenge they’ve overcome, and every step they’ve taken toward becoming their future selves. Their progress deserves recognition.

Second, we recommit to the fight—the fight for every child’s inalienable right to a high-quality education. The right to pursue a future they cannot yet imagine. And most importantly, the right to choose that future. We must also fight for the kind of society that not only values an educated citizenry but demands it.

At Elevate 215, we are fortunate to be part of a powerful community—school leaders, teachers, administrators, civic advocates, philanthropists, and non-partners—who believe in this vision. We don’t just talk about change; we work every day to create the conditions where learning thrives. That work is grounded in action, aligned with a shared belief that our children deserve the very best.

To our school and non-profit partners: thank you! Your work is tireless, determined, and deeply impactful. You show up every day in the face of enormous challenges to ensure that children—regardless of sector—have access to the best possible education. Families trust us with their children’s futures. That trust is sacred, and we must honor it.

As we close out the school year, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the educators who rise each morning with purpose and joy, ready to serve the next generation. Your work matters. Your passion matters. And your impact is immeasurable.

To our supporters: thank you for being in this fight with us! Remember, to always keep children at the center of our efforts to provide a better education. There will come a time—if it hasn’t already—when we’ll all need to collectively use our voice and platform to advocate for a quality education system.

Let’s work together to build schools that our children deserve. Together, we can shape a future where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
