JM has been in the news a lot lately! Yesterday's Odyssey graduation was quite the media event. Check it out. (radio link to come soon I think)
WCIA (local tv news):
Odyssey Project Graduation
For my part, I enjoyed seeing our students again and meeting their kids and grandkids and family and friends. And as the person in charge of laying out the food spread, I have this to say: when did fruit rollups become so popular? And also Mt. Dew is as big a hit with the teens now as it was twenty years ago.
In all seriousness, though, in the News Gazette article Dale Bauer indicates that teaching in this project was the most remarkable pedagogical experience she's had, and I really couldn't agree more.
hey, so cool! congratulations, JM!

Congratulations to JM!! What an inspiration to see a person use his amazing gifts and talents to assist some less fortunate in making a new start. You should sleep very well at night knowing that you are truly making a difference in these peoples lives.
BTW Debbie, fruit rollups have been around for at least 15 years, although, I have never been able to bring myself to taste one.
