[Mary E. Phillips], located in southeast Raleigh, is a school designed to serve students who are struggling elsewhere in the Wake County school system. The institution offers resources not found in all public schools, such as daytime child care, night classes and low student-to-teacher ratios. "We are here to turn things around for the students," says [Scott Renk], the school's art teacher and one of the organizers of the grant-supported program, called Healing and Magic of Rhythm.

Then the survivors' ordeal began: days of thirst, hunger and miles of walking until - just at the point of rescue - a hungry pack of crocodiles tried to snap them up.
