After much hard work, the HDS Foundation and Picasso Einstein launch the Summer Entrepreneurship Camp.  Seven young men have signed up for this hands on camp experience which promises to be both exciting and challenging, mixed up with a great deal of FUN.  Nelson Santiago, principal of Picasso Einstein kicked off the day with a Student Orientation, also attended by parents and HDS staff.  It’s a six week packed-session schedule, and I think we have a great group of students that will make it happen.  Welcome to Camp!

End of Summer Lunch for STEPS Interns

As the summer comes to an end, the Dan Marino Foundation STEPS Interns were able to celebrate their time with a fun lunch and a movie day.  Each of them contributed to the fun by bringing in a home-made item for our pot-luck lunch.  The DMF STEPS  Interns spent part of the summer learning certain software testing strategies, data input and audit skills.  Their collaboration skills in the workplace greatly improved  during their time at HDS.  Each of these young ladies and gentleman worked very hard, and showed that they can take something very new to them on.  As some of them continue with their studies, and job searches, we feel confident that they take these new skills with them.  Thank you Jamie,  Renee, Eddie and Emily.
