For 14 years, CCM's ability to impact our boys has been limited to
Saturdays. Virtually all of our organized programming occurs on Saturdays -
until now. In March 2010, we initiated the CCM in the Schools Pilot Program
at Fernwood and Copernicus Elementary Schools. For four days per week at
Fernwood (Dr. Deborah Heath, Principal) and two
days per week at Copernicus (Dr. Lynn Garner, Principal), CCM volunteers are
providing instruction in Math (James Wilson), Physical Fitness (Sean
Armstead) and Martial Arts (Shihan Larry Tankson), and dispensing wisdom and
direction in Our Life Skills, Personal Health and Mentoring Sessions. The
program at Copernicus is after school from 3-5, but we start as early as
1:15 with our Math program at Fernwood so we are integrated into the school
day. Early reports from Project Coordinator Dr. James Miles are extremely
promising. We hope to be in 12 CPS Elementary schools by the end of the next
school year.
