Michele Cinquegrano of Verizon Foundation visited a classroom of Ways to A’s students today and presented us with a check for $5,000! The grant goes to support our Adventures in Literacy program during the school year.

Before posing with College Crusade CEO Todd Flaherty for a photo, Ms. Cinquegrano spoke with the sixth graders. “The Verizon Foundation is proud to support you in your academic efforts,” she told them. “If you work hard and stay in school, you will achieve success. Focusing in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math will lead you to that success and jobs that pay well; you are our future scientists, engineers and leaders.”

Thank you, Verizon Foundation, for believing in our youth!
