The headlines regarding educational achievement can be inspiring. We’ve all read them, “student receives 8 Ivy League acceptances,” “student beats the odds to graduate as their class valedictorian.” The end result in these cases is often easy to celebrate, but what we have found at FAME is that more often than not, what makes the end goal possible and a community celebration notable is what happened along the journey. The success, however success is defined, is owed to many individuals and supporters who have worked together to help promote the student’s success in the end.
