Quarasan’s mission is simple—we believe in getting today’s kids ready for their tomorrows.™ With every action we take, we strive to ensure that what we do and how we do it matters and makes a difference in the lives of children and teachers—and our clients. Quarasan believes in giving back, too. Within our own organization, we hire recent graduates and student interns. We also give back to our community. We direct a large portion of our charitable efforts toward organizations and causes focused on children through our quarterly QuaraGives™ campaign. In addition, Quarasan has adopted a K–8 public school in Chicago. In the beginning, we had no idea how profoundly one small school could shape our work for so many others. As a result of our relationship with the George Manierre School, we keenly understand the challenges “our school” and so many others face each day. Getting involved and staying involved with one public school in our community is Quarasan’s way of helping. We can’t reach all of our nation’s kids, but we are making a difference to the 568 students at Manierre. One side note: When Quarasan learned that the music program was in danger of disappearing at Manierre due to budget cuts, we assumed sponsorship of the program. Because we firmly believe in the importance of the arts to children’s growth and to reinforcing learning in all subject areas, we’re proud to say that today Manierre’s music program continues to thrive and to strike all the right chords with its students and teachers. |
