Thrive Academy

Thrive Academy and The Thrive Foundation are deeply saddened by the passing of Senator Larry Selders.

Senator Selders was more than our state senator. He was our neighbor, a steadfast supporter, and a true advocate for the students and families we serve. Senator Selders consistently invested his time, voice, and leadership to help our school and community thrive.

He cared deeply about creating opportunities for young people and worked tirelessly to ensure that every child had access to the resources and support they deserved. His mentorship for the youth of the Capitol region was a result of his commitment to service. He was a man of the people.

We are incredibly grateful for his friendship, his partnership, and his unwavering commitment to our students.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kendra, and his two sons, Larry and Luke, during this difficult time.

Thank you, Senator Larry Selders, for believing in our students, standing beside our school, and serving our community with honor. Your legacy will continue to inspire us.
