Omni Hotels Helps 3rd Grade Girls from Seven Hills Elementary
Newark, TX – May 24, 2007: 3rd Grade girls from Seven Hills Elementary School in Northwest ISD completed their year long Communities In Schools of North Texas (CISNT) P’s & Q’s program with a luncheon sponsored by the Omni Park West Hotel in North Dallas.
The students participate in CISNT’s drop-out prevention program at Seven Hills and have spent the school year learning etiquette, manners, and social skills that will help give them the self esteem to become confident women.
“Not every child has the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to promote self esteem. I was really excited for the opportunity to take our students to such an elegant establishment. With the help from Omni Park West Hotel, we are creating life long memories for these girls who have worked so hard all year long,” states Lara Varcoe, CISNT Campus Manager at Seven Hills.
“Omni Hotel’s investment in children demonstrates their understanding of a growing need in our community. There more than 28,000 students at risk of dropping out of school in Denton and Wise Counties. In the CISNT service area, the number of students at-risk of dropping out of school has increased by 23% in the past year. Each experience that we can provide improves their chances of success. We are deeply grateful to Omni Hotels,” states Gary Henderson, Executive Director of Communities In Schools of North Texas.Communities In Schools of North Texas is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that has been providing dropout prevention services in Denton and Wise counties since 1994.
