Our Stories

Meet Jayden

Jayden joined Operation XCEL last summer to get early access to the 6th-grade curriculum. He made it a personal goal to improve his mastery skill level in Math. Although he struggled with Math in the past, he worked hard over the summer and enrolled in Operation Xcel's after-school program when school started.

Jayden's grades were inconsistent, but he never gave up. When his Math grade dropped to an "F," he agreed to attend intensive tutoring and sacrificed some of his enrichment time. By the end of the second quarter, Jayden had raised his Math grade from an "F" of 54 to a "B" grade of 80. He continued to receive intensive tutoring and achieved an "A" grade of 90 in Quarter 3. Currently, Jayden has a "B" grade of 86 in Quarter 4 for Math.

If you’re new to the tea game, here’s a breakdown of some of the main types of healthy teas and why you should start drinking them right away.

A report released by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) in 2020 titled "AAFA Rolls Out National Roadmap to Address Serious Asthma Disparities Impacting Black and Hispanic Americans" shows that African and Hispanic Americans have the highest mortality rates among those with asthma (AAFA, 2020).[i] Latinos of Puerto Rican heritage have the highest rates of asthma.

Operation Xcel is committed to providing a comprehensive approach to the programs we offer to underserved and at-risk students in Guilford County. The majority of our students come from African American and Hispanic-American communities. We are deeply invested in the well-being of all our students, and we strive for equality in the programs and care we provide, especially for those who lack resources. As a community, we believe targeted interventions, scientific research, and effective policies can improve asthma outcomes and promote health equity.

Children need to know that it is 'okay to not be okay'! Getting a child the help that he/she needs to deal with childhood traumas and insecurities may prevent them from carrying the residue of the events into their adulthood. Parents, when was the last time you gave your child a mental wellness check-up? May 9th is National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day. Operation Xcel reminds parents of its significance and is a reminder to schedule a little time to have that heart-to-heart chat with your child/children.

We're here for you.

Let us know how we can help.
