I am in Miami for the JA Worldwide Leadership Conference and we were just awarded a MetLife Foundation Entrepreneurial Award!!!! There were only 8 awarded of the over 200 offices worldwide. This was for our SOS – Skills of Success program at East, Rogers, Hale and Webster High Schools and many of you participated in that program. We received a check for $25,000!!!!!! Thank you to all for your support of this awesome program!!!!

 

Special thank you to Erica for writing the grant, Belynda and her team that worked carrying out the program and Shannan Beeler for encouraging us to apply!!!
