The return of students to classrooms brings with it an incredible sense of excitement, energy and possibility. At Elevate 215, we are also eager to learn about all the amazing and impactful programs that are available for students. For instance, did you know the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office will have internship opportunities for students at Imhotep Institute Charter High School? We found out about it when we supported student orientation at the school. We hope you will join us this year in being present in the school community, learning about the school practices that work, and sharing them out!

Get ready for all the feels! Incredibly inspiring feature in Chalkbeat Philadelphia by Dale Mezzacappa about Kahn-Tineta Smith's journey to the classroom via The School District of Philadelphia's Para Pathway Program. "For Smith, Para Pathway was the answer to a prayer. She can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be a teacher." ❤️ Our future teachers are already here! Let's continue to invest in and support those who are already deeply connected to Philadelphia's communities and schools to build pathways into the classroom like SDP is.
