“Guess what?!”
Gabriel, a shy student, has been coming to the Village Library since 1st grade. Every week he works with volunteers on Math, Reading, and Science. While they work on place values and verbs during their tutoring hour, Gabriel is strengthening relationships with the team at the Library.
Gabriel is becoming more confident in his education and showing signs of personal ownership in learning. He recently checked out a book from the Village Library on his own and later came in with an announcement. Bubbling with excitement he walked into the Library to the audience of trusted adults he knows are invested in his achievements, and announced “I got a 100 on my Science test!!”.
With the help of donor contributions, programs like the Village Library can continue to provide stability for students like Gabriel. He has found academic success there and knows that he has a supportive community that will celebrate his achievements and encourage him along the way.
