🎓 Congrats! 🎓

Last Friday, we partnered with Wish For Wheels and Higginbotham to bring BIG smiles to 50 incredible 2nd grade students from our partner schools! 🚲💙

Wish for Wheels is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing brand-new bikes and helmets to students at Title I schools across the country, helping build confidence, independence, and joy for children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to own a bike. Since 2004, they’ve impacted thousands of students nationwide.

A huge thank you to the amazing Higginbotham volunteers who spent the day building bikes for our students and making this experience so special. We were honored to help facilitate this event and connect our students with such a meaningful opportunity.

Seeing the excitement on our students’ faces as they received their very own bikes was something we’ll never forget.

Myth vs Reality

❌ Myth: Kids will ask for help if they need it.

✔️ Reality: Many students don’t ask for help unless support is accessible, visible, and trusted.

That’s why bringing mental health services directly into schools matters. When support is part of the school day, students are more likely to connect, open up, and get the help they need—before a crisis happens.

Huge thank you to Greg, owner of Filamental Things, for creating and donating our incredible end-of-year awards this year!

These custom 3D printed awards brought so much joy to our staff.
