MARIE: S503-SUA

October

2022

Our future fashion designer is making progress in school! 12-year-old Marie had a good school year and is promoted to third grade. Her favorite subject is science, and she is determined to get a double promotion next year; an option for students who are not in an age-appropriate grade level. GPA is happy to walk alongside Marie in her quest to beat the odds against her. Older girls are prone to drop out of school; especially when age-appropriate grade level matriculation is not encouraged or possible. Marie is both hopeful and committed to do all she can to achieve her goal. Sponsored by: Tina Bender
