Reaching Out

Through research we found a school with the ideal mentality to accept the Students in Action initiative within their school

Contacted the school, set up a meeting, presented with 3 members and faculty coordinator, and helped them get in contact with Ms. Fidance

The school was excited and inspired to join this national initiative
