This holiday season, celebrate the feelings of achievement and confidence that learning brings to a struggling student.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~Maya Angelou

As we close another year in this mission, we would like to thank you for being part of our journey.

🎄Happy holidays from Pace!
