What an awesome group! Way to go everyone!

As you all know, many of the children in Milwaukee especially in our Milwaukee Public Schools struggle with reading and spelling from a very young age. Studies have shown that students who are not reading proficient by the end of their third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.

This is why I am reaching out to you. Please read the attached documents and watch the attached video. Forward Scholars began in 2022 serving 5 MPS schools and has grown to serving 180 students in 7 MPS school this past school year. They are looking for dedicated, motivated and caring people who would be willing to volunteer 45 minutes twice a week to tutor a child in need. This program have measurable records of success for these children but they need people like us to help as they continue to grow.

Chief Lipski and our Department supports this program. Please consider volunteering your time to help a child in need. If you know of any active or retired member of our Department who you feel would love to be part of this project, please feel free to pass the information along.
