On Thursday, April 26, Project Promise Mentoring Alliance participants at Rochelle Middle School received a special visit and motivational message from Kinston attorney, and PPMA supporter and friend, James "Jimbo" Perry. Mr. Perry has known many of the students since they were third graders and participants in the Little by Little program at Southeast Elementary School.
Jimbo was one of the founders of the Little by Little literacy and mentoring program that started at Southeast Elementary School. Littel by Little scholarship allows our program participants to earn scholarship dollars each quarter for academic achievement and behavior recognition. A few students have already earned close to $1,000 which they can collect after high school graduation and entrance into college.
This week's Wonderful Wednesday also includes the "Voices of Youth," as our youth completed program surveys this week. Some of the questions and their answers are in separate blog entries.
