Thanks for PRIDE's (Botvin's) Lifeskills program.

Posted On: January 03, 2012

On behalf of the students at Star Academy, I would like to THANK YOU for including us in your program again this year.  The service provided to my students by Mrs. Anela Jean-Marc has been invaluable.  I appreciate the information she has imparted to the students for life long success as they venture through their adolescent and teen challenges and successes.  Mrs. Jean-Marc was an excellent facilitator.  The students developed a healthy, open relationship with her which made it easy for them to communicate their questions and concerns to her pertaining to many of their personal struggles.  Whenever a session ended they couldn't wait for her to return for the next one!  It is apparent to me that she enjoys what she does and that she certainly has the natural ability to captivate the attention of young people.


As you continue with programs to reach out to our youth and their parents, I wish you and PRIDE every success in the new 2012 year and I pray God's blessings for you in the new year.


Kind regards,


Shawnette Somner
