STAIR NOLA
STAIR works to improve the reading skills and self-esteem of lower elementary school students. I have been a part of STAIR since 2019. I became a tutor and a board member in 2019. That is why I ask that you consider donating to help STAIR volunteers continue to reach New Olreans students.STAIR relies on the generosity of our donors to fund our amazing programs. Second grade is a critical turning point in a child's educational development. Through second grade, children learn to read; after second grade, children read to learn. STAIR students are matched with a dedicated volunteer for weekly tutoring sessions. These one-on-one tutoring sessions are tailored to each individual student's ability. STAIR is offered to families at no charge. Building relationships between the student and tutor is key to what we do. Each child works with the same tutor every week and receives caring, undivided attention during the session. They read together, play word games, complete writing exercises, and practice basic literacy skills like phonics and vocabulary STAIR provides all students with new books and school supplies necessary for their tutoring sessions. All staff, tutors, and volunteers must complete a comprehensive background check and ongoing training. Together, tutors and students work on reading comprehension, decoding skills, interactive reading, and other activities in conjunction with STAIR's proven curriculum. A hallmark of the STAIR program is the student's ability to work at their own pace, concentrating on the skills that each student needs to master in order to become a stronger reader. The consistent, one-on-one student-tutor relationship results in a special bond and builds the student’s self-esteem. The Freeman Family Challenge is matching donations to STAIR in 2022 at 50%, up to $50,000. Please consider a donation!

Creole Townhouse
Creole Townhouses are perhaps the most iconic pieces of architecture in the city of New Orleans, comprising a large portion of the French Quarter and the neighboring Faubourg Marigny. Creole townhouses were built after the Great New Orleans Fire (1788), until the mid-19th century. The prior wooden buildings were replaced with structures with courtyards, thick walls, arcades, and cast-iron balconies. Creole townhouses have a steeply-pitched roof with parapets, side-gabled, with several roof dormers and strongly show their French and Spanish influence. The Townhouse building type, or some variation thereof, is a very common type in urban areas, because its vertical massing and long, narrow footprint makes efficient use of land. Galleries on each floor stretching the full width of the façade is typically referred to as a “Double Gallery.” The “Creole Townhouse” typically has a carriageway instead of an entrance door and no interior first floor hallway. Despite their grand appearance from the street, Townhouses usually have relatively few formal rooms, often with a smaller service wing behind.

Creole Cottage
The Creole Cottage is the earliest remaining local housing type in the City of New Orleans. Built between the 1790s - 1870s. Heavily influenced by both French and Spanish construction methods and the local climate, the typical Creole Cottage is 1to 1½ stories tall, 2 rooms wide, and 2 rooms deep, often with small storage rooms (cabinets) attached at the rear to each side. A typical Creole Cottage façade is symmetrical with four openings, usually four sets of French doors or two sets of French doors and two double-hung windows, all shuttered. The front façade is typically sheltered from the weather by an overhang that directs rain away from the front façade and windows. Earlier Creole Cottages are typically of brick between posts or masonry construction with smooth plaster or wood weatherboard sheathing. Later Creole Cottages are often of frame construction with wood weatherboard siding.
