"Third grader, Shania Drayton likes solving math problems. She counts on her mom, Sandra Perry who helps her with homework every night. One year ago, Shania attended Fraser Elementary. This year she's at Orange Grove Elementary. Her academics started to excel, just a totally different child, Perry said. She's happy. She looks forward to going to school. Her eyes just light up."
