Look for your Ability Nation orders by the beginning of December. Middle school families, you'll get a chance to enjoy these in January!

Read about our Ability Nation Fundraiser kickoff in the Statesville Record & Landmark.

RAP is currently working with Ability Nation, a fundraiser with a heart. Ability Nation's mission is to assist wounded warriors and disabled Americans in finding meaningful employment. This concept touches on at least three of American Renaissance School's core values: Integrity, Respect, and Support. It makes a difference one person at a time and 50% of the profit still goes to RAP for ARS. Our goal is $6000 in gross sales.

The Elementary School had great succes with this fundraiser, and we hope to have the same participation from the middle school soon!

April Pinch-Keeler, the CEO and President of MVLE(the non-profit running Ability Nation), shared with RAP about Ability Nation on Tuesday, October 25, at Broad Street Methodist in downtown Statesville. Free hot dogs were served, Mrs Tucker's class performed a play, and fun was had by all!

Ability Nation will provide the following prizes to the top selling students:

Top seller: $100 cash plus a mystery prize

Second place: $75 cash plus a mystery prize

Third place: $50 cash plus a mystery prize

If our school can reach the goal of $6,000 in gross sales, Ability Nation will provide an extra $600 to the Exceptional Children's Program at ARS. Please join us in supporting this worthy goal!
