We need this for our students! Please support.

Your gift goes twice as far this week💜

From August 3–9, every donation to Magic of Mondays will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000, thanks to the incredible generosity of Skinner West parent Ben Sonday.

Every dollar helps support the staff, programs, and opportunities that make Skinner West such a special place for our students.

Donate through the link in our bio and help us unlock the full match.

Please spread the word.

✨Every student deserves the support they need to thrive✨

This year, CPS budget cuts eliminated critical student aide and support positions at Skinner West. Through the Magic of Mondays Fund, we’re working to help restore those essential roles for the 2026–2027 school year.

Every donation, big or small, helps bring us one step closer.

💜Please make your gift by August 14💜

Donate through the link in our bio. Together, we can help keep the magic alive for our students.

Shout out to Clarke Burnett, former Skinner Superstar and current Whitney Young Dolphin! Clarke was a guest speaker at this year’s 8th grade commencement ceremony, and she was recently spotlighted on NBC news as she presented a non-profit organization that she founded, MiniMedics.

Through the MiniMedics program Clarke provides information and guidance to Skinner and other CPS students who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine. Clarke, we are so proud of you!
