IF WE FIND A CHILD WITH ATTENDANCE ISSUES IT MAY BE AS SIMPLE AS THEY AREN'T GETTING UP IN THE MORNING AND WE DO SOMETHING EQUALLY AS SIMPLE - PROVIDING AN ALARM CLOCK. AT TIMES THIS HAS HELPED. FOOD IS ALSO PROVIDED THROUGH FAMILY SHOPPING TRIPS AND CLASSES ON NUTRITION ARE HELD. SPECIAL ATTENTION IS PAID TO GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS - ASSISTING THEM WITH FEES FOR CAP AND GOWN, PICTURES, PROM AND SENIOR TRIPS. WE ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS AS THEY ENTER COLLEGE OR TRADE SCHOOL.
