REACH Prep, based in Stamford, serves more than 250 students from fifth grade through college. During a recent luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, the nonprofit raised money for academic programs and services to help “ensure success at every step of the way” for underserved, high-achieving students. The keynote speaker, Dr. Miguel Cardona, 12th U.S. Secretary of Education, inspired the audience with his journey from English learner to the highest educator in the country and the difference one person can make in a child’s life. Students shared their accomplishments since beginning Prep Academy and goals for the future, as they recently began their journeys in independent schools. The event was led by co-chairs Lindsey Goldfaden, Zeina Pike and Margaret Stevens, as well as a committee of fifty members. reachprep.org
