Life After Âé¶¹¹û¶³
“One of the greatest things I learned from Âé¶¹¹û¶³ is that if I worked hard enough, I could do anything. I am so grateful to Âé¶¹¹û¶³ and credit everything I’ve been able to accomplish to my years there.â€
Kate Âé¶¹¹û¶³-LaMonica
“Realize the value of work ethic; you might not be the best, but you can still achieve at a high level even in areas that you perceive as your weaknesses. That is something that Âé¶¹¹û¶³ taught me and it’s definitely  something other children will get from their experiences at Âé¶¹¹û¶³.â€

“When I came to Âé¶¹¹û¶³ I couldn’t read at all. I remember doing a lot of short vowel fill-in drills, and learning blends and the different spelling rules. The intense work with phonics is one of the greatest gifts Âé¶¹¹û¶³ gave me that I just couldn’t get anywhere else. And what’s even better, is that a lot of that stuff still sticks with me today.â€
