A+ Schools is on a mission to get every kid succeeding in every school every day. The non-profit organization works with community and systems partners to mobilize resources and coordinate support to help make this happen. To build awareness of the situation and the solution, W|W produced a motion graphic-based video, Show Up Pittsburgh. Showing Up is about rallying the community to understand that reducing chronic absence - missing more than 10% of school days - is a solvable problem that requires community involvement. School and community partnerships are happening across Pittsburgh and are making a difference, with nearly 3,000 more kids attending school regularly last year compared to right after the pandemic.

Education. It fuels society and drives economic mobility. But too many students aren't showing up often enough to do well in school. Last year in Pittsburgh, over 5,500 students missed a month or more of school. Because when kids don't go to school, they fall behind, and when they fall behind, they don't want to go.

Check out the A+ Schools website for more information and how you can get involved.
