From Randy Barth, THINK Together's Founder & CEO via Blackberry:"As the two day national Harlem Children’s Zone Conference here in New York City comes to a close and before I hop on a plane, I wanted to share some thoughts and observations with you:
"Over the last several days, we’ve had it re-affirmed that the time has come for a pragmatic approach – much like our ecosystem – that links support services for at-risk students into a more comprehensive system. The moment for this is now. There’s a national movement for, and growing momentum behind, such an approach."It’s clear that THINK Together is at the forefront of this movement, and we should all take pride in that. The heavy lifting we all do to help close the achievement gap and improve the lives of kids is setting the standard for others. After what I’ve seen and heard these last two days, I am evermore confident that we stand "shovel ready" to compete in the 'Promise Neighborhoods' grant process and to attract the support of others who are behind and advancing this movement.
"Take pride in knowing that because of the work we are all doing here at THINK Together, the most vulnerable children in our most challenged communities will ultimately be the winners.
"More when I return … "
