What it reported doing in 2025
After school programs many of the students were in 3rd to 5th grade and could not read at all when they entered our program. The facilitator has used a tablet based system as well as traditional one on one assistance. We will be honoring these children for their accomplishments and hard work and reaching grade level or above in reading and comprehension. The local school has asked for our help with their students. Many classes have 80 students.
