In the summer of 2023, Richmond Public School (RPS) asked Cadence leadership to create PSAs at two specialty schools that serve students with significant intellectual disabilities, as well as students with behavioral and emotional challenges: Amelia Street Academy and Richmond Alternative School. RPS and Cadence have partnered for ten years on STAGE WRITE College Prep and Workforce Readiness, a program in the comprehensive RPS high schools in which student-written and filmed PSAs are an integral part of the curriculum. Due to the excellence of these videos and the successful long standing partnership, the opportunity to expand this work to include elementary and middle school students was born. PSAs were created in March and April of 2024 with the intention of expanding to serve even more students in the 2024-25 school year.
