📣 PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS — PLEASE READ & SHARE!

If you have a child who has an IEP or 504 Plan and they plan to attend college in Georgia, please reach out to me!

There is some VERY important information parents and students need to know when transitioning accommodations from high school to college—information that isn’t always clearly explained during the high school transition process.

💰 There is also a significant grant opportunity available for eligible students that many families may not know about!

I want to make sure our students and families know what resources are available and don’t miss out simply because no one told them.

📩 Please DM me for more information!

And please SHARE—this information could help a family preparing to send their student to college! 🎓❤️

Last week, we held our final workshop of the year for our Pathways to Purpose program at Newton High School— and what an incredible way to close out the season!

We were honored to welcome SSgt Cunningham, a recruiter with the United States Marine Corps, who shared valuable insight into his personal journey and the opportunities available for students interested in military service. We also had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Clifton Gregory Meals and Dr. Gireesh R, who inspired our students by sharing their experiences, career paths, and words of encouragement.

Programs like this remind our youth that there are many pathways to success, and we are grateful to every speaker, mentor, and supporter who poured into our students this year.

We are especially thankful to ChangeX and Amazon for believing in our vision and helping bring this program to life. Your support made it possible for us to create meaningful opportunities, impactful conversations, and lasting inspiration for the young people we serve.

A special thank you as well to Raising Cane’s for your support and generosity. We truly appreciate community partners like you who help make programs like Pathways to Purpose possible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Pathways to Purpose program a success. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead! 💙🤍💙🤍
