“Thanks to this donation from the AT&T Pioneers in Milwaukee, we will be able to purchase school supplies that are needed to help our students grow and learn in the classroom,” said Mark Ketterhagen, principal at MCP’s Lloyd Street School. “We are grateful to volunteers like the AT&T Pioneers that help us with our mission to ensure every child in Milwaukee receives the best education possible.”
MCP schools provide equal parts, academic rigor and character development so its students are fully prepared after graduation.
Milwaukee College Prep is accessible to Milwaukee’s children, who are all eligible to attend free of charge.
“Milwaukee College Prep is an impressive school with a long track record of achieving success for its students,” said Gloria Van Aacken, president of the AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers. “We are very pleased to provide them with this contribution to help provide students with necessary school supplies.”
