Thank you to all who joined us to honor our 18 newest  2009 Great Expectations Awards recipients!

Recent college graduate and basketball superstar COURTNEY PARIS inspired the scholars, families and other attendees with her advice ranging from how to survive the challenges of college to accomplishing one’s dreams.  Courtney was moved by each scholar’s story and assured them they have already shown the drive and resiliency to succeed in the future.
