The Claro Group's Houston Office volunteers at Yellowstone Academy's end of the school year activities

May 24, 2007

Volunteers from The Claro Group's Houston office attended Yellowstone Academy's end of the school year activities to help students of all grade levels celebrate the beginning of their summer break by orchestrating games and activities for all the children to participate in. Yellowstone is a private school established on the premise that, through education and intensive intervention, children living in poverty can transcend their circumstances and grow up to become responsible, productive adults. Yellowstone represents a comprehensive approach to addressing the problems caused by the cycle of illegitimacy, illiteracy and dependency that plague families in poverty. The goal is to reach children in circumstances that create a high probability of life dysfunction and to provide for them the environment and tools that will lead to a high probability of life success. Yellowstone serves 192 students in pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade, with a long-term plan to add one grade level per year through eighth grade.
