[caption id="attachment_1674" align="alignleft" width="300"] Billboard[/caption] When you're driving by the corner of 36th & Falls Road in Hampden, be sure and look up to see our new billboard. It was designed by the creative team of Don & Sande Riesett, long time TCS volunteers.  Don developed the idea from a pattern he noticed in working with the students on their writing where they often mentioned that they are in the school because they want to "Be Somebody." There are posters with the design popping up all over the area as we seek out students for the new term beginning in the fall. Thank you Don & Sande for developing this campaign and to you both and all of the other kind people who put up the resources to publicize it....
