GREAT COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES

The five Project Open Door (POD) seniors working with us this year have each secured at least two college/university places. The quite extraordinary news is that all four who applied to RISD were accepted!  POD understands that we cannot take all the credit for our teens' success, but we do know that we have been a contributing partner with their schools and art teachers. However, Christina Miles POD's College Adviser does need to be singled out for supporting the teens through the application process - thanks Christina.
