The visible achievements are a result of emotional, spiritual, and educational support given with faith, love, and a wide heart.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A parent of one of the students shared moving words:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou bring out the hidden strengths in these boys \u2014 strengths that even we, their parents, didn\u2019t always know existed.
