Adams Middle and Sligh Middle Public Schools are largely comprised of Hispanic and Afro-American children, with over 85% originating from low-income households in the Tampa Bay Area.

•  Adams Middle School’s minority student enrollment is 51% Hispanic and 32% Afro American.

•  Sligh Middle School’s minority student enrollment is 59% Afro American and 29% Hispanic. The school is located within an area that ranks in the sixth highest percentage of children living in poverty in the state of Florida.

Every year, OLA Tampa has made a difference in the Hispanic community and in 2022, OLA NACC and BOLD NACC have joined forces to make a difference in the Hispanic and the Afro-American community. In past years, it has been amazing to watch children’s faces light up when receiving gifted school supplies from BMS.  With very little effort, we can all make a difference in the lives of these kids in need.
