A flier said the committee was working for better public schools in Kentucky.\u00a0 At the time, my math book was literally falling apart. So I raised my hand.<\/p>\n<p>Three years later, I was among 50 students strategizing to convince legislators to ensure that millions of dollars from the Kentucky State Lottery would benefit college students. The Student Voice Team prevailed \u2014 our campaign resulted in $14 million reallocated to education.<\/p>\n<p>On the Student Voice Team, we say that schools are incubators for our democracy. A thriving democracy requires healthy, resilient, and well-resourced schools.\u00a0 In Kentucky, the Prichard Committee leads that effort every day.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly seven years since that flier, I write as the Prichard Committee\u2019s first student member and a monthly Prichard Committee contributor. I humbly ask for your financial support to ensure that this group\u2019s essential work continues. Modest donations not only add up to meaningful resources, but also demonstrate that the committee inspires wide backing and trust.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prichard-backup.com\/July\/donate\/\">Please contribute.<\/a> If someone fresh out of college can forego Starbucks once a week to give, so can you!\u00a0Our kids can\u2019t wait.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][wyde_heading title_tag=&#8221;h3&#8243; title=&#8221;Show Your Support For Thriving Schools&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9400&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;caption&#8221;] Andrew Brennen Student Voice Team Co-Founder [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]I learned about the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence as a high school sophomore.
