SUMMARY:Student Lemonade Stand
DESCRIPTION:When Aspire lost our AmeriCorps funding due to federal funding cuts\, many of our students wanted to know what they could do to help. They wrote letters\, showed up at school and County board meetings\, and gave a warm welcome to the 15 former AmeriCorps members we were able to hire back on in part-time\, temporary positions. \nNow\, they’re excited to get out in the community and help raise money to sustain Aspire’s work going forward! On Sunday\, July 20th\, Aspire students will have a stand at the Columbia Pike Farmers Market from 9am-1pm\, at the intersection of Columbia Pike and S Walter Reed Drive. They’ll be selling freshly made lemonade\, art\, baked goods\, and food from our Community Garden to raise funds for Aspire. \nAll donations up to $1\,000 will be matched by Rock Spring Congregational Church of Christ. Our partners at Read Early and Daily (READ)\, will also set up a table at the stand so that everyone who purchases a treat can also choose a free book. Additionally\, at their Book Nook bookshop\, July 20th will be a designated *Aspire Day* with 20% of sales for the day going to Aspire. \nOur students can’t wait to represent Aspire to the community. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Support Aspire's Student Holiday Wish List
DESCRIPTION:Help make sure local students receive a present that will make the season special! \nThis year has been particualrly challenging for many of the students and families that Aspire serves\, and we’re looking forward to bringing some joy and hope to our students through their holiday wishlist. Our students have put together a wish list of one book and one present each that would make their holiday season extra special – everything from stuffed animals to coloring books to soccer gear – and we need your help to make sure that all of them receive their gifts. \nOne of our former students\, now in his first year of college\, recently shared a story about how he wrote his college essay on receiving Pokemon cards during the holiday party at Aspire when he was in fifth grade. He shared what a big impact this small moment had on him\, and how it’s stuck with him and showed him the support of the Arlington community. \nWill you help make this impact possible for current students by donating a gift for them today or sharing this wish list with your friends\, family\, and neighbors? \nCheck out the list at https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/V30MI7EZPJGC?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ggr-subnav-share_KNYW6385TGXR4V0325W6_1 \nA few notes on this year’s student wish list: \n\nAll gifts are selected through our Amazon registry so that it’s easy for us to track progress.\nWhen ordering a gift\, please click on the address option that says “Aspire Afterschool” at checkout.\nThe wish list will close on 12/12 to ensure that we have everything in time for the holiday party.
