  1. Thank you for your support and listening ear at this year's Phoenix Future Fair. Because of what the dedicated SAISD teachers at St. Philip's SWC did in directing these students with their projects, these students have an opportunity to go beyond what they thought was possible. Today you saw the dreams of the Seniors with their business plans. You also witnessed our junior's powerpoint presentations on their chosen career fields. It is really powerful. A big thank you to Melissa Nitu for all she has done to get this Future Fair to where it is to day.
