Nothing beats football in Ohio. 😎🏈 The @nxtgencamps Nike Football Skills camp made it’s stop at @stvmirish and the kids from Akron went to work. I Promise students, De’Shon & Keision, had the opportunity to learn from current @ohiostatefb & @nfl players as well as the @stvmfootball coaches. We’re proud to see them committing to their promise of living an active and healthy lifestyle and striving for greatness. They’ve got next. 💪🏾🚀
What. A. Year. @ipromiseschool 👏 We know it wasn’t easy, but the smiles, hugs, and love our students receive inside those walls make it all worth it. 🥹 There is so much excitement, optimism, and love heading into summer as next year IPS will officially be fully occupied with 800+ students across 3rd- 8th grades! The work continues! 💪😎
Home Sweet Hometown Hall 🏡🥰
If there’s one thing we know brings a family together, it’s a hot meal and a seat at the table. That’s why we invited our families to bring their chairs to our Hometown Hall summer celebration at the @IPROMISESchool! ☀️ There is nothing more important to us than spending meaningful time reuniting with our family, friends, and teachers after a month of school being out. It was surely a great night to be a kid from Akron. ❤️
His tree at Firestone CLC is standing just as tall and strong as he was and is an everyday reminder that his legacy will live on forever in every person he impacted. ⭐️❤️
They’ll be in college in a Flash.⚡️ Our 9th-12th grade I Promise students are spending the week getting the full @kentstate Flash experience focused on academic skill development, social growth, career exploration and college readiness. 💪🤩 It’s a full circle moment with some of our current Kent State I Promise Scholars leading the way. 🥰 We can’t wait to watch them grow as they continue to work towards their I Promise Scholarship. 🙌
Can you believe we already have our second class of I Promise students starting college!? 😱 Over the next 5 weeks, our @kentstate Flashes who have earned their I Promise Scholarship will be living on campus to gain necessary academic skills to help jump start their college career. During this time, they will be taking 2 college courses that will count towards their degrees as well as participating in workshops such as study skills, time management, and getting to know more about the campus they will call home for the next 4 years. ⚡️💙💛

Our @ipromiseschool students are breaking in the dance floor in the @smuckersbrand Hometown Hall at House Three Thirty. 💃 We’re so excited for this walk up W. Market St from the I Promise School to become a regular thing for our students. 🥹 2023 can’t come soon enough! 🙌
The world is your stage @j.pledgeee and we LOVE watching you. Thank you for always breaking our kids out of their shells to show the world what they’re capable of. We know you are going to outperform at @fordhamuniversity#WeAreFamily 💙
How could the @ipromiseschool celebrate field day without a @kingjames themed relay race!? 👑👟
Our ballers had some big shoes to fill as they stepped into LeBron’s size 16 Nikes and raced towards a chalk toss celebration – all while wearing a 3XL We Are Family shirt. 😂 🙌🏾💨 It was a relay race to remember with each student signing their race shoes, just like LeBron! 😎#JustAKidFromAkron
We can’t build a world class Community & Job Training Center in House Three Thirty without having the input of the students who will be operating it. 😎 Our @ipromiseschool Media Team was on-site at @housethreethirty learning about everything this venue will have to offer Akron while brainstorming announcements yet to come for the whole world to read & see. 📰📹 Be on the lookout!
What a performance by our @ipromiseschool musicians and vocalists. 👏 The sound of music ringing through the halls of House Three Thirty has us so excited for the variety of events the @smuckersbrand Hometown Hall will hold. 🎶 Your next special event could be here. ❤️
