The Cathedral has worked with Mark Twain for 6 years, but officially adopted the school 3 years ago in order to concentrate our outreach efforts. Over 270 students live in an area that is not only economically impoverished but has increasingly become a target for high gang activity.
Because of colors and certain styles of clothing, usually associated with gangs, uniforms have been reported to help decrease crime, violence and tension, increase school attendance, and overall enhance child safety & education.
Thank you for your participation and help during the More Than A Pencil Outreach to Mark Twain for the 2009 - 2010 School Year.
