We would like to thank Laura Rodrigue for showing the girls a fun educational time with gardening! She discussed various techniques on how to exercise efficient gardening.

The girls were able to plant different seeds, and also take seeds home to plant on their own. The carton method was fun and educational for the girls. We can't wait to see how everything turns out!

THIS YEAR'S CROWN OF BEAUTY 2022
Here is another Crown of Beauty!!! Namecia Thomas has been a member of The C.U.T.E. Foundation, Inc. since we started back in 2017! She has grown into a beautiful young woman! Namecia attended programs within the organization while she attended school. She truly deserves to be crowned! Namecia Thomas graduated from Carter High School while also being an active participant on the step team and a part of the collegiate program. This was a challenging roll for Namecia, but she stayed motivated and continued to push herself by graduating high-school with earned college credit hours. She will be majoring in nursing at Langston University! Namecia was asked to turn in a paper on what she feels would be a struggle in college and why! The topic she selected to speak on was “Colorism”… She highlighted real world issues of how dark skinned women are treated differently than lighter complexion women while elevating their higher learning. She stated valid reasons why this topic wouldn’t prevent her from completing college and succeeding in life… Namecia was rewarded with a care package and a gift card! Let’s wish her well, and may God’s grace and strength continue to be with her as she embarks her next phase in life!!
Look at the blessing God allowed us to close out the year for our brothers and sisters on the streets! The girls have always shown great leadership, but due to the sudden rise in COVID Cases, we decided not to have the young pupils join us in issuing clothing, food, and other essential items.. Where there is Unity
, blessings will always pour out…
