What our scholars have to say...
"The Glitter Sisters provided me with exceptional service and support. We were able to connect with Ms. Cush on a different level. When I got out of line, she didn't just punish me. She listened, and really tried to understand—if you get in trouble she understands why things happen, [takes time to] understand before she takes action.
I like helping people or social work. It could be fun to work with kids my age, to say to them, ‘I’ve been in your position,’ that way I could give younger girls a sense of hope.
I chose Glitter Sisters because I learned a lot about how to be a solid leader before my college journey and it gave me a sense of hope."

"Principal Cush connects more with us and is hands on with the students.
Our Glitter Sisters t-shirts say ‘Glow and grow.’ We used to have lot of fights; now it’s peaceful. We’re growing and starting to see beautiful things happening, I am seeing a change in everyone.
Glow and grow means you can mature, grow up, but still look the way you want to without feeling you have to dress a certain way and conform to what society says. We can be ourselves and support each other in the process.”
