C.A.D.Y.
(Confidence and Determination in Youth) has run two workshops for grade school students. February's program involved the sciences and mathematics; a recent program focussed on art, music, and writing. This group is planning a College Day to give students in grades 9-10 a taste of the college experience. We will put special emphasis on recruiting students who might not think of themselves as prospective college students.
