Read to Achieve

Share A Smile  is pleased to have partnered with Palace Sports and Sprite to send exceptional students from Pontiac Central High School to three Detroit Pistons games this season.
 
As part of Sprite's "Read to Achieve" project, tickets were given to twenty students from Pontiac Central High School for each of three Pistons games.
 
"It is fantastic that Sprite and Palace Sports were able to recognize special Pontiac Central students for their accomplishments and give them a fun evening at the beautiful Palace in Auburn Hills" commented Share A Smile Executive Director Susan Moscareillo.

 Pontiac Central High Principal Jerry Lane echoed those sentiments: "Since the kids have started talking to each other about getting to go a game,there is hardly a day that goes by that one of them doesn't remind me that they have earned a chance at a ticket. They have also left me notes telling me that their attendance is good and that they should get a ticket.  One of the students who earned tickets for this Friday's game is thrilled because she is taking her friend to the game for a birthday present."

Share A Smile and Pontiac Central High thank Palace Sports and Sprite for their generous support for these special students!

Pack A Smile

Share A Smile thanks the fifth graders and family members of Eagle Creek Academy in Oakland who took time away from their summer activities to support the “Pack A Smile” project to help other children in their community. On a warm day in August, the group met in the Eagle Creek cafeteria to fill 600 backpacks with school supplies for students at Lincoln Middle School in Pontiac.

Each backpack included five composition notebooks, a package of loose-leaf paper, a ruler, a calculator, colored pencils and a pencil case containing pens, pencils, an eraser and a pencil sharpener. In just two hours, the hardworking team had filled every backpack!

“This was a great opportunity for Eagle Creek students to make a positive impact right here in Oakland County,” said Carrie Langdon, a member of the Share a Smile executive board and chairperson of the “Pack A Smile” project. “Each and every student worked very hard to accomplish this very big task.”

The team included Andrew Abela, Taylor, Jordan and Deborah Benard, Antoinette, Gaspare and Karen Campo, Lisa Matic, Milan, India and Yvette White, Danielle, Jason and Leslie Young, J Van Dyke, R’onda Slaughter, Michelle Trenta, Cathy, Peter, James, Samantha and Tommy Rondeau, Anna Puth, Rachel Rosonke and Carrie, Michael, Emily and Delaney Langdon.
