Relationship to Foundation: Donor

1.	How many years have you been involved with Foundation? Theresa and I became involved with AACPA from day one. In the school's first year we would come out to Las Vegas monthly and work with a group of students - mentoring. Two of those students that we started with just graduated from AACPA, and are now off to college.
2.	Why do you support the Foundation? We were there to see changes happening and students gaining confidence, leadership, academic achievement, hope and promise. We became believers in what Andre and AACPA were all about. Andre's vision that the AACPA student population is just as capable and deserving of a first class education as any student population completely aligns with our belief.
3.	"Our effort and involvement with AACPA comes from our belief that kids are kids and in coming to know and love these AACPA students we see confirmation that this school has become an innovative center of teaching and learning creating an extraordinary educational experience for all these students. We truly believe we are investing in their future and potentially the future of all children."

Relationship to Foundation: "Godmother", Donor, Partner, Sponsor, and Former Advisory Board Member

1. How were you introduced to the Foundation? Meeting with Perry Rogers and Andre.

2. How many years have you been involved with Foundation? Prior to change of charter school laws in Nevada.

3. Why do you support the Foundation? The mission is compelling. To provide equal opportunities to all children.

4. How do you see Foundation and Agassi Prep impacting the greater good? Setting a great example.

"We know that all children, no matter what their circumstances, have needs that exist beyond school. When these needs are not met they can dramatically interfere with a child's ability to learn. When a school recognizes this reality and works to improve the conditions of the whole child, without compromising the quality of their education, you have a successful result. That’s what this place strives to do.

This school has become the beacon that Andre hoped it would be. It serves as a successful model certainly of a charter school but more important, as a model for what every school could be."
