Greetings Marcy families! Hello to all of you and hoping you had a great summer! I am thrilled to come back to your school for my second year with Project SUCCESS! Last year we had fun while learning about each other’s dreams and goals for the future. I cannot wait to go back to the classrooms for another great year of workshops!

Are you new to Marcy or Project SUCCESS? Let us tell you about it. If you are in middle school, we will go to your classroom once a month to work with you and help you think about your dreams and goals for the future! Through a series of activities that we have planned for you, as well as some exciting theater experiences, we will have fun getting to know ourselves and each other in the classroom.

If you have any questions or if you just want to say hi, feel free to drop me a line at CRyanS@projectsuccess.org or 612-876-3908.

Can’t wait to see all of you again!

Ryan
