Continuing our effort to track students
to graduation, and particularly band students, who receive awards to
find out their progress, Cynthia Dauphin went to the School Board and
met with Beverly Breaux who told her of the difficulties in trying to
track these students. John suggested that we perhaps consider
some sort of public announcement on radio asking students who may
have received awards from Shining Light what the impact has been on
their life. Debbey will give this some thought and report
later.
