    There were so many other great ideas in class I hope get realized next year! Can't wait to see what comes from a class of bright and eager minds.

    I am so happy that the students at Banneker Elementary will have more opportunities to enhance their education. Positive change happens one person at a time. Not only will the students have a fuller experience, but they will be surrounded by great role models who are living their lives helping others.
