In a case of we couldn't have said it any better ourselves, Jennifer Lindgren, a reporter for WKYC, the NBC News affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio, provided coverage of the graduation ceremony on June 2, 2011, for the Simon Youth North Coast Academy at Richmond Town Square Sears. The story illustrates well the Simon Youth Foundation mission in action.
Much of the piece focuses on Raychel Griffin, a single mother, who was able to balance school and motherhood and graduate high school on-time thanks to the unique learning opportunity provided by her Simon Youth Academy. Lindgren's report quotes Griffin, who was one of four students to speak at the graduation ceremony, as saying "I feel like I can do anything now." That sounds like hope ignited!
