Why I support Rocketship: “Children from so many disadvantaged neighborhoods are getting caught up in schools or school systems that are under-performing and are not meeting their needs. I am convinced that to educate today’s youth one must be very passionate, creative, and informed/aware of new, innovative approaches to learning. I believe Rocketship’s leadership will provide the necessary environment to offer every child a positive learning experience.”
