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

Corcoran, associate professor of educational economics at New York University, reviewed  The Economic Benefits of New York City’s Public School Reforms, 2002-2013  for the Think Twice think tank review project.
