Anna Julia Cooper Episcopal School is an independent, tuition-free, faith-based middle school for students of limited resources primarily from Richmond’s East End neighborhood.
Through a program focused on academic, social, and spiritual development, we help students set their sights on college and responsible citizenship. Parent support and volunteers are integral to our success both as a School and a community of affection. Helping to ensure that our students are on a path toward a full and decent life is our fundamental reason for being here.
Do you know anyone who has a functional lawnmower or a bycicle they're willing to donate to the school?
ALSO: We could really use some individually wrapped healthy snacks. With 50 students, we go through those quickly!
SUMMER SCHOOL JULY 9-27
We're looking for high school and college students to volunteer during our upcoming 2012 summer school session (required for all rising 7th and 8th graders). If you know a student who is available during the weeks of July 9, July 16, or July 23. We also need teachers for these weeks (stipends provided). Please email if you are interested in helping out.
Please see the "Ways to Help" page for our wish list or to contribute directly through our site.
"Justice" by Isiah
Justice is like a coconut. Some people can’t get it open; some people open it and just don’t like what they find on the inside; some people take shortcuts to the middle and don’t get the full effect. Others see the hair on the coconut and think it’s just as bad on the inside, but what they are truly missing is the sweetness of its milk. Basically, coconuts are hard to open, but when you finally get it open you get the delicious drink you’ve been waiting for. In the same way, justice is hard to prevail, but once you prevail, then you can get that trust and freedom from it that you’ve been waiting for all along.
