2025 End of School Year Update
The program at Canton Path to Shine has wrapped up for the school year. The Kona Ice Truck came out on the last day, which has become a tradition. Four 5th graders graduated Path to Shine. They were honored with a special tribute by their mentors and school supplies to set them up for success in 6th grade.
Winter 2025 Update
The Canton program continues to thrive! Each week, 14 students connect with their mentors. A highlight from last semester was creating pottery inspired by the children's book Dave the Potter by Laban Carrick Hill. The pieces were fired in a kiln and later returned to students to keep or share as gifts. Please take a look at the pictures below.
