The Normandy Kindergarten Center officially welcomed its new partner, The Little Bit Foundation, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and birthday party. The birthday party was for students born in September, and the ribbon cutting was to officially christen the school’s partnership with the non-profit foundation.
The Little Bit Foundation provides wraparound services to students in need, in the form of uniforms, school supplies, books, among other goods. The organization also secures needed services such as nutrition assistance, health screenings and medical exams.
Also on hand for September 19 ribbon cutting was staff from Normandy Schools Collaborative (NSC), Beyond Housing, and Citi, a major supporter of The Little Bit Foundation. In addition to its financial support, Citi employees volunteer at the school ‘Boutique’, where they work with students and families on academic and social needs.
