Wow, to think this all started as an idea to promote educational excellence in our Nation, and now we are celebrating our 1,100th posting. This is quite amazing. It has not been an easy road, but we are proud that IPRIDE has been consistent and stayed the course of being that central repository where we, as parents and educators, could share and help one another ensure academic success for our children. We would like to thank Donna Parker-McNeil, without your diligent commitment to finding and posting relevant articles we would never have met this historic milestone. Additionally, we would like to thank the parents who have utilized IPRIDE and shared their invaluable accomplishments, questions and experiences to the benefit of our IPRIDE readers. Moreover, we would like to thank Elder Shadrock for his foundational teachings of always striving for excellence and his continued support of IPRIDE.
Since our inception we have always sought out ways in which we could have a positive impact towards helping all our children excel. We created the IPRIDE Summer Camp, the IPRIDE Honors Leadership Awards, the IPRIDE Lifetime Achievement Award, and the BASIC Israelite Curriculum. What's Next? Stay tuned, and feed us your ideas and suggestions on how we can be most effective in your area.
Again, we would like to say "Thank You!" to all our supporters. The Best Is Yet To Come. Hosanna!!! to Our God, The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, and The God of Jacob!
