Secretary School Grads!

Another 2-week, 20-hour Secretary School has concluded with the "graduation" of five students, including (from left) Vanessa Chance, a mother of 7 who has been working as a nighttime security guard for more than 8 years and who desperately wants a job in the daylight. Other class members were Alexis Lespeur, a 19-year-old single mother with very few skills; Marissa Waterman, a talented dancer who will finish high school in May with 7 CXC’s and a bright future;Wanita Hussain, the oldest daughter of Vanessa Chance; and Temica Waterman, an outstanding athlete but not a great academic. As with all our other students, we have learned to love this vivacious group and hope anything we have been able to teach them will make a difference in their life!
