“You can find magic wherever you look.
Sit back and relax, all you need is a book!”
Some days are just hard. Days when you simply need that touch of magic described above by Dr. Seuss.
Yesterday Rosie* arrived at her tutoring session – and at the sight of her volunteer tutor Deb – began an inconsolable, tear-filled accounting of her day at school.
With her backpack flung absentmindedly over her shoulder, Rosie just slumped and it was clear to Deb that tackling homework wasn’t a first priority.
First Deb listened; and then they talked.
Then they read a book.
Thank you to all of our volunteer tutors, who donate time and magic to students, who sometimes just need a shoulder to lean on.
