Nia has participated in our reading program for 63 days, completing 94.5 hours.
Here is what the staff have to say about Nia:
“Nia* has been at the Club for two years now and has consistently shown leadership skills and an infectious sense of humor. Whether it was distance learning or after school, she’s shown intrinsic motivation in her schoolwork which has rubbed off on others. Being one of the older members in the fourth to fifth grade group, she’s taken on a role in which she helps younger kids with their homework as well as being a dependable station leader. Her smile and laugh light up the room and she is a joy to have at the Club.”
Great work, Nia!
