Yesterday we had the opportunity to connect two of our initiatives in a unique way. We had several students and staff from both the PFW TRIO Office and Ivy Tech TRIO Office, who we partner with to do our Persistence Pays Off initiative, volunteer to put together art kits for our Kindergarten Countdown students. We love seeing these two initiatives come together and show what it means to LIVE UNITED.
