Subject: State High School Graduation and dropout Prevention Summit Invite


The First Lady, Gayle Manchin, is working with me in hosting a State High School Graduation & Dropout Prevention Summit this summer in conjunction with the "Faces of Leadership" volunteer conference on July 14, 2009 at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston WV from 5-9 p.m. 

The volunteer conference is July 14-16, 2009

The Five Promises

The Five Promises are those developmental resources - wrap-around supports- that young people need for success in life:

The Five Promises Change Lives

Children who receive at least four of the Five Promises are much more likely than those who experience only one or zero Promises to succeed academically, socially and civically. They are more likely to avoid violence, contribute to their communities and achieve high grades in school.

 

I have attached the pdf version of the invite, registration and agenda, please register today and join many West Virginians to determine the solutions to the dropout crisis in our State. 

You may also share with your list serves. 

 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call or email me.

Thank you,
