What People Are Saying



Students Meet the Standards of the School
Dorothy Carmichael, principal, P.S. 29
We feel very fortunate to have this marvelous program in our school because it has benefited so many of our students. It helps students feel capable of completing tasks in a manner that meets the standards of the school. It also helps them believe that they can connect successfully with others. And, as a result of working on a one-on-one basis, it helps students acquire the skills that make it possible for them to be contributing members in their classrooms.


I really didn't know what was wrong
Iesha Lewis, Student's mother
"She wasn't reading to me at all before the tutoring. She would read 'cat' and 'dog,' only words that are so common. I was extremely worried. I really didn't know what was wrong. Now she reads with the other kids."

"In the 21st century, the best anti-poverty program around is a world-class education. And in this country, the success of our children cannot depend more on where they live than on their potential."

-President Obama, "State of the Union," January 27, 2010
"Together, we can continue our commitment to education innovation by investing in Experience Corps, a program that helps elementary students by increasing the number of older adult tutors and mentors in the classroom. Independent research shows that Experience Corps works: Third-grade reading and math scores are rising and students feel safer at school."

-Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, State of the City Speech, February 22, 2010
