At the core of the legacy was nurturing curiosity through reading and telling stories together.

Let’s pass it on …

Programs

Our M.A.S.T.R. Kids Programs – Math, Art, Science, Technology & Reading – nurture curiosity and a love of learning with Literacy and STEAM curriculum that develops both sides of the brain!

After-School
Program

Research shows that out-of-school time programs like M.A.S.T.R. Kids have a positive effect on reading and math achievement!

Summer
Program

During the summer months, students typically lose 8 to 12 weeks of learning, unless they are provided with academic enrichment.

We want to work with students on an ongoing basis and we give preference to students enrolled in one program and seeking to participate in the other.

About Us

Hi, I’m Bridgette. My father and I created the Shirley Proctor Puller Foundation (SPPF) alongside family members and close friends of my mom (especially Angela Collins and Gladys McNeil). We acted because my mom implored us to “DO SOMETHING” to help improve education outcomes for children in our community.
