Phuture Phoenix elementary partnership featured on NBC 26

NBC 26 on Tuesday (Feb. 18) aired a story about the Phuture Phoenix partnership at Green Bay’s Jefferson Elementary School, profiling the program for its “Partners in Education” series. As we’ve told you here before, UW-Green Bay’s signature college attainment program has partnered with Jefferson to begin encouraging college attendance right away in kindergarten. Thanks to regular “college-bound” programming and attire days, decorated classrooms and other efforts, students receive the message early and often that college is for them. NBC 26 spoke with a Jefferson teacher, a fourth-grade student and a parent about the importance of the program and the impact it’s making. Full story.
