Welcome to another exciting and eventful school year at
the Elizabeth Edwards Fellows Program.
We are so happy to not only have back our class of senior and junior
fellows, but to welcome in a new cohort of sophomore fellows.
This month, we were very lucky to have Sarita Broadway from
CFNC.org come to discuss how the College Foundation of North Carolina can help
students plan, apply, and pay for college.
The free college and career planning resources that CFNC provides will
be key in helping the fellows with the college application process.
The fellows were also able to attend the International
Festival of Raleigh. Thanks to the
organization International Focus, which promotes, cross-cultural communication,
education, and understanding, we were able to attend the festival for
free. While there, the fellows went to
cultural exhibits, watched dance demonstrations, and sampled food from all
around the world. It was a great way to
learn about and share world cultures as well as celebrate the diversity of the
Triangle.
Finally, the fellows had a great time working with the
residents of Brighton Gardens Senior Living Home. We helped them paint some colorful pottery. We also heard stories from many residents about how their children attended Broughton High School!
