WOW - What an enlightening experience! This is my first year participating in the NOLA experience. It feels good helping to facilitate and provide necessary support to Kipp Central Academy, which can boast of a strong and positive academic environment. The teamwork between NLU participants, and Kipp staff was phenomenol. The students that we met were ready to learn, as Kipp welcomed them with open arms. I especially took note of the students' cheers and chants that emphasized the importance of college preparation. This school-community partnership is one that will surely last.
