From the moment I started at FSH, I knew I was a part of the team but in that moment I realized the staff truly cared about assisting me in reaching my goals too.
Family Scholar House gave me the opportunity to pave a successful path for me and my daughter. It can be a lot of pressure going to work, managing school full-time, paying bills, etc. The last thing I had time or money for was Christmas gifts.
We start each board meeting hearing from a participant. This provides an opportunity for our board members to interact with individuals we serve and hear how FSH has impacted different families. You don't have to be around Valissa long to know her future is bright. Check out Valissa's letter to FSH and all those that support our mission.
Over the years, Family Scholar House has given me more support than I could have ever imagined. From participant to now full-time staff member, I'm grateful for everything that FSH has enabled me to do as a student and mother. Encouraging me to do anything and everything I can put my mind to while taking care of my son.
We work to provide our scholars with a little bit of magic. Reverse Trick-or-Treating is so much more than candy. It is a tradition at Family Scholar House which builds our community, shows how much our extended FSH family cares, and allows our kids to be kids (and our parents to share in the joy)!
