Team H.O.P.E. Seeks To Bring STEM Program To Roswell

ROSWELL, GA -- Easter Seals of North Georgia has a new, energetic partner born out of Leadership North Fulton members.

Team H.O.P.E. (Help Other People Excel) is made up of local members of the community who have chosen to assist Easter Seals of North Georgia bring an early childhood STEM education program to two centers in Roswell.

You didn’t know that Easter Seals has two early learning centers in Roswell?

Neither did any of the team members of Team H.O.P.E. Consequently, ESNG doesn’t receive the community support that many other nonprofits receive in North Fulton. Team H.O.P.E. seeks to bridge that gap by spreading the word about the great work already being provided by ESNG.

Additionally, they want to help ESNG gather the funds they need to implement a STEM program.

ESNG's first STEM program at their Sylvan Hills center was a success and included a STEM Fair sponsored by Technology Association of Georgia. Their goal is to replicate the STEM Campaign at their Roswell locations.

The two locations would serve 244 children ages six weeks to five years old. All of the children enrolled live at or below the federal poverty level, 97 percent identify as a minority, 67 percent are English language learners and 30 percent have a disability. ESNG's vision is that every child will start school prepared to learn – no matter their ability or income status.

To support the fundraising arm of the project Team H.O.P.E. will be hosting a movie premier in partnership with Aurora Theater at 5100 Commerce Parkway in Roswell for the highly anticipated "The Batman Lego Movie."

Proceeds will support the implementation of STEM programming in 2 Roswell development centers. The premier date is 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, the day before the movie is open to the public.
