Julian Thomas Becomes Racine County's Second Community School

August 30, 2019 — Julian Thomas celebrated its transition into Racine’s second community school at an open house on August 29. Leadership from Racine Unified, the RUSD Board of Directors, Julian Thomas and United Way of Racine County all celebrated the power of community and shared their hope for and support of this work during the ceremony leading up to the ribbon cutting. The room was packed, leaving standing room only as families, staff and community members gathered to celebrate the transformation and kick off the start of the school year.

After the ceremony, families poured into the hallways, where they were met with a resource fair of community partners providing access to services and programs.

If you are interested in volunteering with any of the programs or events at our community schools this year, or if you want to learn more about this work, please contact Maham Ali, community schools manager.
