"I cannot imagine not having access to a computer for my future endeavours as an athlete, mediator, singer, poet, and so much more. ...STL has given me a tool that has played a large role in being the first in my family to attend university and make my family proud. My heart is filled with gratitude..." more from Brittiany"

I visited Brittiany's class on May 6th and I was moved by the dedication and spirit of Brittiany, her classmates and her teacher, Kim Thomas.

We are excited about our plans for our upcoming 7th annual event and we are planning a special night for you. Hope to see you there!
