Our team sponsor The Case Foundation will be highlighting the experiences of their team at Simon Elementary School on The Case Foundation Blog. Below is just a little taste....
Picture it, Simon Elementary School, where seven young leaders take on the challenge of improving the community by engaging in service and creating a positive school climate for the students. These seven were hand-picked and agreed to take on such a momentous challenge. Draped in their Red City Year jackets they go out to impact the community with their positive can-do attitudes and passion for service. Every morning at 8 a.m. they show up at Simon Elementary, fired up for a day of fulfilling service.....

Student X has even improved in his test scores with the DC BAS and has moved up a skill level!
