ThrivePoint in Action: Supporting Heat Ready PHX

This month, our Learning Center Coordinators volunteered with Heat Ready PHX to support an important community initiative. Together, they assembled nearly 800 tree care kits for families receiving donated shade trees across the Valley.

 

These kits help families properly care for their trees, providing long-term shade and heat relief for households throughout the community. We are incredibly proud of our team for stepping up and making a meaningful difference for Arizona families.

 

Sharing Our Story

Our Avondale Learning Center Coordinator, Ms. Mecina, represented ThrivePoint at the Academy of Math and Science High School Choice Day. The event brought together local high schools to connect with junior high students exploring their high school options.

 

It was a great opportunity to share information about ThrivePoint, answer questions, and help students find a school environment that best supports their goals and learning style.

 

Community Partnership

We extend our sincere appreciation to Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers for generously donating meal vouchers to support our Student of the Month incentives. Community support like this helps us celebrate students who demonstrate dedication, perseverance, and academic growth.

 

Thank you for helping us recognize and encourage student success.

College & Career Support

This month, ThrivePoint counselors Mr. Gardner and Mr. Green visited each campus to guide students through important college preparation topics, including:

  • FAFSA applications
  • Scholarship opportunities
  • College application support

 

Students who need additional assistance are encouraged to reach out.
