Luke has come a long way with the wonderful support of his teachers at KIPP. With the inclusion provided by the STP program, Luke has become a lot more social and independent.

KIPP students are building confidence and social & emotional learning. I love that our students have authentic connections with each other, the staff, and they take that out to their families and communities.
