Greetings Cencal Family,
I'm sending out my sincere appreciation, congratulations, and blessings for Summer Jam
2008 to all of you who will be making the trek to CSUMB tomorrow. I'm attaching an email
for an article that I received this AM in my inbox as a reminder that we all have so much
power and influence to impact the young lives that we come in contact with on a daily basis.
Take it to heart these next two days as you interact with all the Summer Jam participants,
staff included!!!!
Have a good one and take lots of pictures!

mistakes, but they don't quit."

<span style="font-size:12px;">High school graduates earn higher annual incomes, commit fewer crimes, and have lower rates of substance abuse than those without a high school diploma. Yet, a student is lost from the graduation pipeline every 13 seconds of the school year. The result is a public high schoool graduation rate of 70.6 percent for the class of 2005, according to the EPE Research Center’s <a href="http://enews.edweek.org/GoNow/a15864a180225a444091909a38"><em>Diplomas Count 2008</em></a>. Additionally, graduation rates vary widely by state, with New Jersey on the high end at 83.3 percent and Nevada at the low end at 45.4 percent, a difference of 38 percentage points.
