BEARDSLEY TEACHERS SENT GIFTS OF APPRECIATION
|
|
We missed our traditional
Read Aloud Day/Teacher Appreciation Day
at the Beardsley School this spring! The teachers are working even harder as they navigate distance learning with their students. To show the support of the TUCW community we have sent them ecards and gift certificates. We look forward to supporting them with tutors, readers and mentors when school is back in session.
Sharon Pivirotto, the school's Principal, has already told us they're going to need a lot of tutors next fall, and we've told her we will do all we can to provide the support she needs. Stay tuned!
