A not -for -profit dedicated to recognizing and rewarding young people in our
community for positive behavior, accomplishments and good deeds!
Dear Friends of Do The Right Thing:
I hope you enjoy the first edition of the Do The Right Thing e-
newsletter. Although we all are bombarded daily with emaiis, phone
calls, texts and the like, and let's not forget Facebook, please take the
time to familiarize yourself with our program. It is
unique, in that, children who might not be star
students, still have the opportunity to be
recognized and rewarded. This small bit of
recognition just may mean the difference between
hem going down the wrong road or choosing to
keep "doing the right thing!" Let's never give up on
our children. Please nominate a deserving young
person TODAY at
v.detherightthinginc org!
Sincerely,
Jodi Atkison
Executive Director

Meet Ronald Page, the new administrative
assistant at Do The Right Thing. As a
DTRT Top 10 award winner last year, Ronald
received our British Airways trip to t_ondon
and our grand prize of DTRT Student of the
Year in the high school category. So, what
did he do to accomplish this you say? Well,
it's more like what he didn't do. He didn't
throw in the towel on life when his older
brother and role model was murdered. He
didn't drop out of school and turn to addiction
like his father. What he did do was work hard
and rise above it. Ronald is now poised to
enter the police academy so he can continue
to do the right thing! Welcome to the next
Page of your life Ronald!
