Ramco
continues its support for Empowering programs
GREENVILLE - Ramco Electric Motors continues its support of Empowering
Programs for the third straight year.
“The community has been good to us,” said Jase Barhorst, Ramco Human
Resources Manager. “We want to give back where we can. Helping our
children build their future is a good way to do it.”
Barhorst responded to the progress Empowering had made with its After
School Program, noting, “It sounds like the program was making a
meaningful impact.” Empowering’s request for help highlighted, among
other points, its third graders passing their Reading Guarantee last
year, nine students getting Merit or Honor Roll, some for the first
time, and individual cases this year where students have gone from D’s
and F’s to A’s and B’s in targeted areas.
“One student had only been in our program about two months,” Bob
Robinson, Empowering Program Coordinator, said. “She was struggling in
math. After grade cards came out, her grandmother proudly showed her
report… it had gone from a D minus to a C plus.”
There are many people involved in the success of a child, Robinson
continued, from the teachers, staff and families, to the Edison and
community volunteers, and to companies and organizations like Ramco
that are willing to support the program through their donations. “Our
thanks goes to all of them.”
