👑 Promises Continued
As early as the 3rd grade, all of our I PROMISE students make an emphatic promise: to finish school. It is a dream come true and a promise kept to see nearly 100 of our l PROMISE students now thriving in college. As our college students head back to school for another semester this week across The University of Akron, Kent State University, and Stark State College campuses, we're right by their side physically at the I PROMISE Institute that offers assistance for a myriad of college student needs, and figuratively in spirit as they continue to chase their dreams.
When it comes to chasing their dreams, we continue to be amazed by our parents and guardians that recommit to their education through our I PROMISE TOO program. We're kicking off the new year alongside Project Learn with information sessions for our next cohort of parents ready to show themselves, their families, and their peers that it's never too late to make their dreams come true. This week's sessions on the GED program are open to all parents with an active child in the I PROMISE Program.
In Akron, a promise is a commitment for a lifetime. And the loud cheers of our students and parents proudly exclaiming "to finish school!" moves us and motivates us every day.
