MAKE A DONATION

Woonsocket Elementary School Principal:

"At the start of the school year, I repeatedly had a young boy in my office that constantly was getting into trouble, performing poorly, and made it perfectly clear that his interest was not to be cooperative. After meeting with his father, grandmother, and social worker, we were truly at a crossroad with him. He was heading to an alternative school at best. We decided to allow him to work with a mentor for a few weeks to see if a different approach might benefit this young boy. As the end of the school year draws near, it’s hard to believe this is the same child. He has excellent grades, his behavior is exemplary, and I’m proud to say, he is a role model for other students. More than all of this, my young friend comes to school and smiles. He smiles because he has one adult who has taken the time to make his value and worth. He has an adult who has taken an interest in his life."
