Annual Fund Campaign
PCS Friends and Families,
We are excited to announce the launch of PCS’ Annual Fund Campaign, and we invite each and every one of you to join us in making a meaningful and lasting impact. This is a time when we come together to celebrate the strength, resilience, and unique potential of our students. Below you will meet Jaden Hefflin, a recent graduate of PCS who has grown from a struggling reader in 4th grade to a public speaker and dyslexia advocate in 8th grade. We are so proud of Jaden and the progress he has made. He and many others like him benefit from our interventions and programming. As the state’s only non-profit, tuition-free public charter schools, we depend on the generosity of people like you who believe some children learn differently and should have the chance to succeed.
-Maria Paluselli, CEO
Meet Jaden, 2023 PCS Graduate
Hi! My name is Jaden Hefflin. I came to Provident in 4th grade. I was a kid that acted out and wasn’t that great of a student. I did not want to learn until approximately 5th grade because I was apprehensive about learning, it was very hard and I struggled. I had many great Wilson teachers over the years, such as Ms. Rossi and Ms. Campbell just to name a few. I consider myself a late bloomer because I didn’t really appreciate all that Provident had to offer until I was in 8th grade. Then I realized that I had to step it up if I wanted to be able to get through high school. I see now that I will always have to work hard, I am no longer opposed to it. I wish I had the revelation sooner, but I remain grateful that my teachers never gave up on me. The main thing I learned at Provident was that I could learn and I am smart. The teaching staff are even supportive after school hours. Many of my teachers spent a part of their Saturday cheering me on at one of my track meets. Actions like that made me want to work even harder. I also had the privilege to serve as team captain for Team Storm. I felt very welcomed at Provident Charter School. It was like an extended family. Your support of Provident Charter School means a lot to students like me.
