Hello Blog world!
I am been MIA because I was recooperating from getting my lovely wisdom teeth out last week. I am happy to say it is over and I'm feeling good! But more on that later.
The real reason for my post today is a shameless plug for a cause near and dear to my heart! 20 scholars from my Charter School in Chicago have been accepted AND have won scholarships to attend an enrichment program at Northwestern University this summer! This is an opportunity that has endless benefits. They will grow academically, be exposed to college life, and learn to make life changing goals for the future. However, these scholars live VERY far away from the Evanston campus, and most of their families cannot provide transportation to the program.
So, we are attempting to raise $6000 for busing to and from Evanston every day for these scholars. We really want them to be able to make the most of the opportunity they have worked so hard for. I can guarentee that any and all donations are directly benefiting the scholars I see every day.
If there is any way you can help, or if you just want some more information, please click the following link!
Thanks so much for your time!
