Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well! You are receiving this email because of your previous and ongoing support of Comet House. I appreciate everything that each one of you has done to support the children at Comet. We would not be where we are today without all of you!

Comet House School now has 80 students with classes from daycare through third grade along with a special need class and adding a new grade every year. Half of our students are on scholarship. These students come from very needy families in our community. We are so happy that Comet has grown with your support, and we are able to serve so many children.

One huge and urgent need that we currently have at Comet is a school bus. Some of our students do walk to school but many of our students live too far to walk. The school bus is critical to our operations at Comet. If we did not have a school bus, the paying students would have to transfer to other schools. This would severely impact our ability to educate the less fortunate kids because the paying students help offset the costs of the scholarship kids. Also, if we did not have a school bus, many of our scholarship kids would not be able to attend school at all because their families would not be able to afford to pay school fees at another school. One of our third grade students, Beth, is a good example of this.
