GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Two Green Bay schools are able to expand services thanks to the support of the Brown County United Way.
The organization announced a reinvestment Wednesday of $150,000 into the Community Schools Initiative.
This funding will directly support Howe Elementary Community School and Nicolet Elementary Community School. Together, these schools serve more than 700 students from 4K through 5th grade. Each school provides a neighborhood hub where families, school staff, and community partners collaborate to ensure students and their families have access to the academic, health, and social supports they need to thrive.
At Howe and Nicolet, this reinvestment will enhance:
- Integration of student supports, including meals and health services
- Student and family engagement opportunities
- Efforts to improve student attendance
“At Brown County United Way, we believe that when schools and communities come together, children and families are given the best chance to succeed,” said Robyn Davis, President and CEO of Brown County United Way. “This reinvestment reflects our commitment to strengthening the Community School model and ensuring that every student has access to the resources and relationships they need to thrive.”
The Community Schools Initiative officially launched in Green Bay in 2018 and continues to transform how resources are integrated into the school environment.
