Imagine two children...
They both want to be astronauts. They both have families who love them and want them to succeed. Both families moved to Howard County because of the resources and opportunities available for children.
But what happens when…
Only one child has access to books at home when they are young? Only one child has access to a home computer? Only one family can afford enrichment programs for their child? In a community filled with opportunity, it can be easy to miss the children who can’t access those opportunities.
What can we, as a community, do to help all our children realize their potential?
Bright Minds Foundation is the education foundation of the Howard County Public School System.
We help level the playing field so all students have a chance to succeed.
