Quotes
“The kids that are referred to us, are typically not part of the health care system”
“It only works because we have banded together with the orthodontists”
“That's where the goosebump stuff happens”
“We show them that there is somebody here, that is willing to stick around”
“Asking them to start at a C or above, helps to lift the kids”
“We know that grades are not the end all, cure all, but we feel that it's a good indicator that this child may actually graduate”
“About half the kids we work with are foster kids”
“The kids in our program have a graduation rate of 94%"
