“Not everyone takes a chance on children such as the ones that I work with on a daily basis, but I am proud to say that I have the privilege of working with them and learning just as much from them as I hope that they will learn from me. Any progress made with these students is progress that should and will be celebrated.”
- April Lingle, Corps Member
