Increasing literacy and education equity is at the forefront of what ALLMemphis does every day. One of our partner school networks, Journey Community Schools, celebrated literacy all month long in September. Our program specialists attended Coleman School's campus for their annual Literacy Night, where they met with scholars and their families to share information on at-home reading strategies. 📚

Journey Coleman Families: Check out this SWEET event! Join the Coleman School Team for Sweet Treats and Conversations. Learn helpful financial literacy strategies and get up to date information on the state of the school.

Kristi, Hillarie and Krista enjoyed a day full of exciting deliveries to Journey Community Schools! This week, the ALLMemphis team donated and delivered over 50 boxes of supplemental materials, designed to complement our decodable readers, to help students continue to expand their sight words, vocabulary, comprehension and writing skills. We can't wait to see how these JCS students grow!

Learning doesn’t end once students leave the classroom! 🍎📚 Our team partnered with Journey Community Schools to host a literacy night for parents, where we taught families how to practice the ALLMemphis card deck at home with their children. We were thrilled to see over 130 attendees tune into the event and were inspired by their active participation!

September is National Literacy Month and JCS is celebrating literacy all month by showcasing one of our favorite books each week!

Mrs. Moore, our JCS Staff of the Year, shared her thoughts on one of her favorite books, Carla and the Christmas Cornbread. "This book is special to me because my mother in law had a special cornbread recipe that she used during the holidays. Our family continues to honor her legacy by making the same cornbread recipe. This past year my daughter taught my granddaughter how to make it. This is one of the ways that we keep our family members with us, even after they have passed on."

We are so excited about our CTE classes! Coleman's sixth grade class has been learning about job safety and was visited by Ms. Tiffany Gibbs from TOSHA (TN Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

Aspire to Journey

As of January 24, Aspire Public Schools - Memphis is now Journey Community Schools! This transition marks the next chapter in what has been an incredible 8 years since Aspire first responded to an opportunity to become part of Tennessee’s Achievement School District in Memphis. Memphis became Aspire’s only region outside of California, and though that came with certain administrative challenges, the work was urgent and necessary. Aspire’s presence in Memphis grew to four campuses, serving approximately 1,600 scholars.

In recognition of our commitment to operate true community-based schools, and acknowledging the unique regional opportunities in Memphis, the launch of Journey Community Schools embodies so much of the strong foundation we built and such promise for what lies ahead.

We stand firmly grounded in four principles - Ujima, Path, Equip, and Achievement, which seamlessly go hand in hand with the vision and mission that will guide us in the future.

Our vision is to develop a community of lifelong learners who excel in all areas of life. Additionally, our mission is to engage families and community partners in scholars’ learning journey; cultivate a safe, positive and joyous learning environment; and empower teachers and leaders with support to deliver an inclusive, innovative and rigorous education.
