"These are our children" from Milwaukee Sentinel Journal

[Daniel Bassill]

I encourage you to open the link to the Milwaukee Sentinel Journal 
editorial titled "These are our children". It reinforces our urgency at 
supporting the growth of comprehensive tutoring/mentoring programs in 
inner-city neighborhoods. The Nov. 20/21 Tutor/Mentor Leadership 
Conference is a place to network with peers and learn how to build and 
sustain good programs.

Illinois Juvenile Justice Initiative.

third felony offense in two years.
