“From the Heart Teen”

We couldn’t be prouder! Our student leaders’ fashion show is featured in today’s Naples Daily News. Teens, stand tall: You ARE K is for Kids! Photo by Gavin Vary, FGCU intern.

Behind the scenes, it is adult mentors like Kelly Wilson, Business Teacher at Barron Collier High; Donna Matthews, show consultant at Southwest Florida Modeling Agency; and Karen Clawson, founder of K is for Kids Foundation, who see the teens’ long hours of volunteering (albeit mixed with healthy doses of fun with friends) and how their efforts have reaped positive rewards for other students: creating a program rich with experience and full of joyful memories for children of all ages.
