On May 15, 2014 JusticeWorks’ President, Dan Heit and Compass Academy Director, Marc Silvetti, hosted the Compass Academy annual Student Day. Local store owners, the Chamber of Commerce, representatives from Senator John Gordner’s office, school district representatives, and family members of youth that participate in the program all attended.
The event is held annually in celebration of the youth’s success and academic achievement. At the event, youth share with visitors the positive changes that have occurred in their lives. Students provide a tour of the facility to visitors that attended. Light refreshments are handed out by the students, and each student is given the opportunity to speak about their experiences.
One parent stated, “My son was on a downward spiral for many years. Today, he is graduating from high school and thinking about college! I thank Compass Academy for all of the assistance they have provided to our family and our son.”
Congratulations to all the 2014 graduates of Compass Academy. Kudos goes out to the teachers and the administration of Compass Academy for the impact they have made on so many lives.
