00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:03.906
(soft upbeat music)

2
00:00:03.906 --> 00:00:07.019
<v ->Wilson services 1160 students.</v>

3
00:00:07.019 --> 00:00:09.905
We have a lot of children who are very eager to learn,

4
00:00:09.905 --> 00:00:12.043
and come to school each and every day.

5
00:00:12.043 --> 00:00:15.787
That makes us about 97% in attendance every single day.

6
00:00:15.787 --> 00:00:17.559
(kids laughing and shouting)

7
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.963
Deandre is really a well-rounded kid.

8
00:00:19.963 --> 00:00:22.278
He represents all of the positive things that Wilson

9
00:00:22.278 --> 00:00:26.323
wishes to be and our students strive to be.

10
00:00:26.323 --> 00:00:27.982
<v ->I wanna be an engineer.</v>

11
00:00:27.982 --> 00:00:31.229
Math is something that I know can change my life

12
00:00:31.229 --> 00:00:34.771 line:15% 
and still be something that I like to do.

13
00:00:34.771 --> 00:00:37.288
<v ->Deandre is the promise for all the children</v>

14
00:00:37.288 --> 00:00:40.972
of how they aspire toward their education goals.

15
00:00:40.972 --> 00:00:41.805
(light piano music)

16
00:00:41.805 --> 00:00:45.472
When we take a look at what our budgets are,

17
00:00:52.638 --> 00:00:54.644
we really wanna fit what is the best

18
00:00:54.644 --> 00:00:56.742
and the most effective for the students.

19
00:00:56.742 --> 00:00:59.088
Reminds me of a story called Stone Soup,

20
00:00:59.088 --> 00:01:01.881
where you have to make a delicious meal

21
00:01:01.881 --> 00:01:04.784
out of just a plain stone, and it's from contributions.

22
00:01:04.784 --> 00:01:06.666
Someone brings this to the pot,

23
00:01:06.666 --> 00:01:08.672
someone brings this to the pot.

24
00:01:08.672 --> 00:01:10.894
When you don't have the best of something,

25
00:01:10.894 --> 00:01:12.316
how can we make do?

26
00:01:12.316 --> 00:01:14.568
And that's what's so fascinating and amazing

27
00:01:14.568 --> 00:01:17.565
of being selected for Comcast Cares Day.

28
00:01:17.565 --> 00:01:20.732
(bouncy upbeat music)

29
00:01:31.169 --> 00:01:33.924
<v ->When Comcast comes in and fixes everything up,</v>

30
00:01:33.924 --> 00:01:35.963
I think that it'll be good for a lot of kids.

31
00:01:35.963 --> 00:01:38.151
They'll have something to build off of because

32
00:01:38.151 --> 00:01:41.984
they know that there are people here for them.

33
00:01:43.105 --> 00:01:45.809
<v ->It's kind of unbelievable, painting murals,</v>

34
00:01:45.809 --> 00:01:49.182
fixing up classrooms, providing different activities

35
00:01:49.182 --> 00:01:52.143
out on our main schoolyard for children to take part in.

36
00:01:52.143 --> 00:01:55.876
It's just showing my staff, my children, our community,

37
00:01:55.876 --> 00:01:58.192
that Comcast does care.

38
00:01:58.192 --> 00:01:59.525
It's tremendous.

39
00:02:00.447 --> 00:02:02.292
<v Deandre>Repainting everything outside,</v>

40
00:02:02.292 --> 00:02:04.136
trying to make it more appealing,

41
00:02:04.136 --> 00:02:06.164
is actually something that most people

42
00:02:06.164 --> 00:02:08.683
probably wouldn't do for us.

43
00:02:08.683 --> 00:02:12.016
(exciting upbeat music)

44
00:02:17.447 --> 00:02:21.447
(students talking and laughing)

45
00:02:24.829 --> 00:02:26.708
<v ->What a tremendous day we had here.</v>

46
00:02:26.708 --> 00:02:28.688
It's sending chills up my arms right now,

47
00:02:28.688 --> 00:02:30.438
in thinking about it.

48
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.128
By having Comcast Cares Day here, they see that, wow,

49
00:02:36.128 --> 00:02:39.190
somebody really took interest in us, somebody really cares.

50
00:02:39.190 --> 00:02:41.872
It was absolutely wonderful.

51
00:02:41.872 --> 00:02:42.932
<v Deandre>With all the changes,</v>

52
00:02:42.932 --> 00:02:46.296
it makes a better environment for the kids to work in.

53
00:02:46.296 --> 00:02:48.073
It means a lot to the students,

54
00:02:48.073 --> 00:02:48.959
that there are people out here

55
00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:51.819
showing that they care about us.

56
00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:52.954
<v Stefanie>I feel confident that,</v>

57
00:02:52.954 --> 00:02:57.346
with the support that Comcast is giving, they'll succeed.

58
00:02:57.346 --> 00:02:59.929 line:15% 
(upbeat music)
