Erasing Stereotypes of Wellesley (E.S.O.W.) is a non-profit organization run by these students in the Barton Road Entrepreneurship Program. I often get the question, what do you like to do?

As the newest member of the Cradles to Crayons clan, I was extremely nervous for my first day. I knew that the other members were a tight-knit group and I was afraid that I wouldn’t fit in quite right. But little did I know that the events to come would really prove that I belonged…

February 24th, 2012 What a glorious day in the Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory! There were so many bright spirits and the energy was at an all-time high.

I never fail to have an amazing day with my Cradles to Crayons family. Not a day goes by when I am not laughing, singing, or crying out of joy with my C2C team. Even though the morning shift consisted of dust, getting super dirty, and back breaking labor (I am exaggerating..a little) at Fallon,…
