A big shout out to Access senior David Trujillo (St. Mary's High School ’21, St. Cecilia School & Academy ‘ 17) for the community service he’s been doing with STLJuntos. Since July, David has been packing/distributing food to local families, helping ensure that up to 30,000 meals go out each week and 2,500 area children have food on the table at dinner. Thank you, David!

#ThankYou to all of the generous supporters who helped make 2020 such a successful year for our students, even in the midst of a pandemic. We couldn’t do it without you! #studentsuccess
