Words from the Founder:
Hi Supporters,
I would
like to thank you all for taking the time to read our newsletter. We continue
to offer SAT/ACT Test prep to local high school students from Middleton,
Blake, and Jefferson High School in Tampa, FL every Saturday. We also attended an educational fair through
Hillsborough County Public Schools and I am proud to announce that we have signed
an agreement with two facilities (PACE Center for Girls & Hillsborough HS)
to provide GED Test Prep & Tutoring Services. Our vision is to promote SUCCESS “One
child at a time”.
GRAY’S SPOTLIGHT feature this month is Project Promise;
an organization that provides opportunity & promise to at-risk/delinquent
youth. The services they provide include
mentoring, intervention, and educational support in collaboration with the
Federal Title I Student Intervention and Dropout Prevention Program. Project
Promise in conjunction with the vision of the GRAYS Project, understands the
importance of educating our youth and preparing them for college or a career.

The Starfish Story
by Loren Eisley
One
day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a boy
picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching
the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The
youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean.~
The
surf is up and the tide is going out.~ If I don’t throw them back, they’ll
die.”
“Son,”
the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and
hundreds of starfish?~
You
can’t make a difference!”
After
listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
and
threw it back into the surf.~ Then, smiling at the man, he said…”
I
made a difference for that one.
Thanks
