What it says it does

Eagle Wings Academy (EWA) served 26 children and provided 27 scholarships for primarily minority students living in the City of Syracuse unable to afford a Christian Education. The scholarships allowed the children to attend Faith Heritage School, 3740 Midland Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13205 (private school Grades K-12). We had over 22 volunteers providing prayer support, individual encouragement as necessary, as well as assistance with academic needs. We had one employee during the year as the Administrator. The Administrator provides intervention to ensure academic standards are being maintained, monitors progress to assist with deficit areas, and encourages students to work up to their God-given potential.
