Starlight raises special awareness for students who need expert help in expressing themselves for achievement in skills for learning, living, and working. CGE is a treasure chest of learned experts who can recognize needs and find solutions for students who need that extra bit of expertise to thrive. These kids can become stars in their own right in some area of family or community. Many become leaders and will shine on others with their Starlight success stories!

Give to Starlight in support of a “farm and garden shop area” for teenagers who find meaningful expression in growing plants and caring for small animals. Rebecca had little communication or attention skills until she came to “The Farm” where she developed a love for rabbits. Now she expresses the “stories” to visitors about the rabbits and is a major care-giver for the rabbit warren area. She has become a star helper and lights up hearts as she shares over and over about the daily life of each rabbit. Each visitor finds a joyful experience in this city life oasis, as well as great gardening items! The teenagers learn appropriate skills for communication, growing plants, marketing crafts, and caring for the pets. Each day is a world of smiles and learning rather than being confined within the walls of an institution.

This Starlight Express project is located in a school associated with SKILD (Smart Kids with Individual Learning Differences) for students with expression challenges like dyslexia and word processing. Experts and a volunteer program are needed at the high school level to coach older students within their regular academic programs. Students are bright, but may have a learning challenge in writing or reading skills, and need more time or special help in mastering a skill or achieving a passing mark. Visit and confirm for yourself that these four students are stars as they express their dreams for careers in journalism, restaurants, travel businesses, and architecture! You can feel their Starlight potential fill the classroom!
