2005 Susan F. Berkowitz Award
for Outstanding Service to Children
Tomas L Menses accepted the award on behalf of the JHPCC on May 2nd, 2005.
The JHPCC was selected among a number of candidates and the
selection process was conducted by the students of the Francis
Parker School. 2005 marked the first year that the award was
part of a leadership class conducted by the school which
included site visits by the students and final evaluations and
selections. We would like to congratulate our students for this great honor, for they are the ones that must overcome the day to day struggles and the many obstacles that keep them from being positive influences on other children's lives.
