Community Needs For Our Children

There is significant community need in Cheektowaga. 2016 statistics show that 11% of the households in our community live under the poverty level.

Research shows that school-age children who are left unsupervised are more likely to engage in delinquent behaviors including larceny and alcohol/drug abuse. Cheektowaga School officials report that students who are involved in fewer after school activities are more likely to experience discipline and academic issues. Some children want to participate in activities at school but are unable to join due to overcapacity.
