Students from the Martin Luther King Jr. Academy promoted the RISE UP! 94965 Foundation at the Sausalito Art Festival, which was held on Oct. 21.
On hand were Michelle Bryant and Lily, Tessa, Porsche, and Koralyn. They were also selling fruits that were grown by the students at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy in Marin City.
RISE UP! 94965 Foundation is a community-based non-profit with the mission of ensuring that TK-8th grade students within the 94965 ZIP code — which includes both campuses of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy — have equitable access to educational and cultural activities above and beyond what is provided by public funding, according to http://www.riseup94965foundation.org.
The foundation also galvanizes the school community as a whole and empowers it to raise funds. It then allocates the funds to the Sausalito-Marin City School District for specific programs for TK-8th grade.
