September 2009 Students encouraging each other to strive for success and achieve their ultimate goals

Each year we ask people of the community to take a student by the hand and walk with them on the streets of Connecticut for a positive purpose simulating walking through life's difficulties and hardships with our society as a support system.

Participating in our yearly MARCH for EDUCATION Parade/Festival, will encourage our youth to continue the progress they have shown throughout the years in the education system and develop a love for knowledge knowing they are not alone in their quest for success. If a student needs assistance, we will then give them the tools and personal support they need to break through any barriers that may discourage them to go forward in their plight to achieve.

When you register to march, we will supply you with the T shirt and things necessary to march comfortable with us to the Seaside Park bandshell

As we walk with our students, we prove that we understand their hard work and abilities despite negative forces that will discourage them to continue in their quest for knowledge

We know that there are many needs concerning youth in our society and seek your help to address as many of these issues as possible in a reasonable amount of time. Since this is a new company formed in 2008, we will constantly upgrade our efforts to upgrade our sevices to the youth and continue our dedication to education. Please contact us to get involved with our vision to serve students in our area, ANY ideas are welcomed and encouraged. Rallies are important to show solidarity and trust in any organization. We are determined to go to any location and cheer on our youth as they go through the process of becoming the leaders of our future. If you have an event or rally, please consider contacting us and we will consider involvement and participation to the highest extent.

As we band together for the same purpose, we stand together in strength

We also want to give a special thanks and appreciation to all the great donations given by local businesses and organizations. Without their support, many of our youth would not have received the great gifts provided.

As students go off to college, they will remember the community that supported their efforts and may someday give back to that community.
