Our students cleaned their pennies and discussed the importance of saving money. Check out their first bank!

Which substance cleans pennies the best: lemon juice, vinegar & salt, ketchup, or hot sauce? Any guesses?

Why did you choose to become a Success Coach? @JustDelon: “I want to be there for students wherever their there maybe.”

“Painting changes how I am. When I’m in the halls, I am goofy. When I am painting, I feel calm.” ~Novessa, @EMMMSCougars student

“I channel my emotions into painting so that I don’t have to carry them around with me. If we don’t channel our emotions they can pile up and explode in ways that you don’t want.” ~@EMMMSCougars Success Coach Alex Percy
