Opportunity School's motto is "Good Beginnings Never End." Executive Director, Dianne Hill, gave us great information about her organization. The mission of Opportunity School is to "help young children, primarily from low-income families, succeed in school and in life." They currently serve 150 children, six weeks old to five years old, who's average income is $22,000 for a family of four. The school prides itself on the low teacher/child ratio, the ever important one-on-one attention and the education that these children receive. Our own Eddie Melin, aka "Grandpa," says that his monthly readings to the children are the "best day of my life every month" and he recommends it to anyone. Thanks to Dianne Hill for a wonderful program!
