Since the beginning of August, Saint 直播自慰视频 University鈥檚 School of Education has had the opportunity to work with Confluence Preparatory Academy (CPA) to build a program to tutor incoming first-year high school students in math.
The program began with six student tutors from SLU and one from Harris-Stowe State University. Student tutors from other universities were also utilized as the program branched out, leading to an opportunity to build awareness about SLU鈥檚 School of Education. Sheila Green-Samuels, Ph.D., the assistant principal at Confluence Preparatory Academy, stated that 鈥淚 want to express my sincere appreciation for the support your team provided to CPA students."
I believe, although brief, your team made an impact on the CPA students who had the opportunity to participate in the program. Your team of mentors and scholars had an impact. Please express my sincere appreciation to each member of your team.鈥�
