A Community Partnership School is both a physical place, as well as a set of partnerships between a school and community resources. A Community Partnership School utilizes four pillars- expanded learning, wellness supports, family and community engagement, and collaborative leadership- to focus its efforts in addressing barriers to success such as hunger, poverty, lack of access to adequate health care, lack of educational supports, and other challenges the community faces, as identified by the community. Through eliminating these barriers to resources for students, staff, families, and the community, the Community Partnership Schools’ goal is to increase the chances of student success and well-being.
Fort Myers Middle School is excited to host an upcoming Boot Camp for all 6th graders, new to this campus, and is seeking dedicated volunteers to support our teachers and students during this event. This event is especially important for incoming sixth graders, as it helps them feel more comfortable with the transition to a new school environment and provides a supportive space to build confidence before the school year begins. The camp also serves as an onboarding experience, allowing new students to meet teachers, navigate the campus, and connect with peers through engaging activities. Volunteers play a key role in this process—by offering encouragement and guidance, they help students thrive. In return, volunteers will gain meaningful experience working with youth in an educational setting.
The event will take place on July 21st from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM
Volunteers are encouraged to stay the whole time
