For the past three years, the Detroit Country Day senior has buddied up with first-grade students at Bennett Elementary to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day by making cards and playing games.\r\n\r\nThe experience opened Alex\u2019s eyes to the stark differences between a private school in Bloomfield Hills and a public school in Southwest Detroit.\r\n\r\n\u201cEducation was always in the forefront of my mind, but I never thought about how people have different opportunities until I was exposed to it,\u201d said Alex. \u201cIt was eye-opening to go from what Country Day offers to a school with fewer resources in the heart of Detroit.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe annual tuition for a high school student at Detroit Country Day costs $40,875<\/a>, lo que supera con creces la renta media de los hogares del suroeste de Detroit, que es de $35,665<\/a>. What some families can spend on education, other families must use to meet all their basic needs.\r\n\r\n\u201cMy whole life, I never really saw that different side and it was shocking,\u201d said Alex. \u201cI really started to think if there was any way I could do something about it.\u201d","right_rail_type":"none","stat":{"title":"","abstract":""},"image":null,"callout":{"text":"","abstract":""},"":null,"settings":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_group","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_group":{"version":"2","header":{"":null,"show_arrows":false,"heading":"","subheading":"","abstract":""},"columns":[{"image":3808,"title":"","abstract":"","button":"","open_chat_bot_on_click":false},{"image":3809,"title":"","abstract":"","button":"","open_chat_bot_on_click":false}]}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_wysiwyg":{"content":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/unitedwaysem.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/drawstring-bags-1.jpg\")
