Literacy

Partners in Education - Adoption Ceremony on 1/29/04 at Columbus Tech - Altrusa became a Partner in Education (PIE) with the Rose Hill Center including the high school located at Rose Hill and the middle and night schools located at Daniel. This program will offer us the opportunity to provide assistance (both financial and hands-on) on a broader scale than we previously had working with Daniel.
Sherrylrae Wicker is working with the school PIE committee and with the other sponsor, MEA Federal Credit Union, to develop plans for our involvement.
