About Reach a Student
Objective: To provide WPS students the ability to access and share positive insight on any school related matter.
Reach
A Student is the brainchild of
Windermere Preparatory School student Sarina Khemchandani. The idea was conceived the
summer of 2014 entirely when she recognized a recurring issue throughout her student
life: some students had extra guidance from either parents or older siblings
while others did not. She sought to minimize this disadvantage by creating a
program rooted in this flaw and help provide support that is often an unvoiced
need for many students.
The idea of the
site was unfortunately not well received by her parents who felt such an
endeavor would distract their daughter from an already full schedule of
education and after-school activities and Sarina sought the advice of Mrs. Mary
Beth Davies, the Director of the WPS Middle School.
"Mrs Davies
really connected with the spirit of the idea and encouraged me to pursue
it. Her confidence in the program was inspiring and helped me focus on making Reach A Student a reality. I cannot thank her enough
for all she has done for me at school. Each time, I reached a new milestone
with my website design, she was there to guide and support me. Mrs. Davies felt
the idea would have a positive impact on the school and arranged for me to meet
with WPS Headmaster Dr Marcy and subsequently Dr Williams, the Director of High
School. Both Dr Marcy and Dr Williams were equally supportive of my
objective to provide all students the ability to access and share positive
insight on any school related matter."
