No, Pope, Johnson and Gregory is not a new law firm we are working with here at Schools Count. Rather, these are three schools that I visited last Friday to get a sense of their needs and progress relative to adding them to those who we bring supplies to each August.
I had the good fortune to the meet the various principals or asst. principals in addition to the personnel who they work with at AmericaSCORES. I must say that I am pleased to see that these schools are eager to work with us and it is clear that they can use some assistance.
As with other schools in Chicago, I got the sense that the school personnel are very committed to the kids in many ways. I am certain that they are attending to the total needs of the children; social, academic, emotional, and nutrition.
Having Deb, Aisha and Marissa, at AmericaSCORES, to act as a liaison will be very helpful. These three ladies have already done much to make our logistical efforts move smoothly. Though each of these three aren't hired by the schools, they sure are in tune with what is happening in the classroom.
I am eager to work with these North Lawndale schools in the coming year. There are plenty of great people!
