Kittens on the M.O.V.E.

UPDATE~Projects 1 & 2 are COMPLETED!! Thank you.

The Kittens on the M.O.V.E Campaign is on a MISSION to bring OPPORTUNITIES with the VISION to EMPOWER the next generation.

Since 1922, Southern University Laboratory School graduates have gone on to become some of the most successful and influential African Americans throughout our nation.  It is imperative that we build from those successes to continue the legacy of caring and developing the future leaders of our country.

There are challenges that students are faced with during this time of statewide transition and thus a need for community outreach.

With the new administration, the dedicated faculty and increased enrollment we are poised to become the premier learning environment in Baton Rouge, LA but we need the support of the entire Kitten family to ensure the school and resources are ready to enter the new millennium. Our immediate needs are for increased teacher support, a student work lounge, and foreign languages for Elementary, technology integration – laptops/tablets, science equipment and much more.

Your support will assist in making our community exceptional.  Acknowledgement of your support will be through the SU Lab Portal, permanent fixtures (plaques on campus) newsletters and events.
