PATH TO SHINE SPOTLIGHT
When Thomas first joined Path to Shine–Columbus, we could already see his bright potential. With continued support from East Carver Heights, he’s grown academically, socially, and emotionally, whether in the classroom, on the track team, or his time with Boxwood Soccer.
Recently, Thomas was named Scholar of the Month at Emanuel Preparatory School of Math and Science, a recognition that reflects his hard work and growth. Path to Shine helps cover extra school-related costs so students like Thomas can focus on learning, leading, and becoming their best selves. We couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come!
