4. STRATEGIES OF SUCCESS
Marianne Douglas (Fairy Godmother in “Cinderella”) is in the process of updating her successful high school curriculum “Strategies of Success” with the most current information prior to donating it to 300 high schools in North America this summer!
With towns being strapped for money, Marianne thought that this was the ideal time to have a contest where schools can apply to win the program that has won so many awards and has changed the lives of so many teens! Her program improves school attendance and academic success, decreases discipline problems (including bullying), and teaches a variety of strategies that teens need to be successful, now and in the future. High schools can apply to win the program at www.strategiesofsuccess.com until July 2.
Marianne was also recently a guest, with financial guru Jean Chatzky, on the Oprah & Friends XM radio show! She got to mention her program on the air and put information about it online - http://tinyurl.com/lrzc8u.

Congratulations, Marianne!

5. CONGRATULATIONS, REBEKAH!

Rebekah Philip won for“Best Child Performance” for her portrayal of Little Red in our “Little Red Riding Hood.” You can see her reprise her role on stage again this summer on August 11th at Rhode Island College and on August 12th at the Chevrolet Theatre!
