Please join us in congratulating Gris, who just got a job at Radford University! Gris has been working with an LVNRV tutor for 2 years to improve her English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. She also participated in our Family READS (Reading and English to Achieve Dreams and Success) program to learn skills to help her children succeed in school. When the pandemic hit, she learned new digital skills to participate in Zoom English class and to help and support her children with online school. Despite the stresses of the pandemic, she never stopped learning and studying English, and in August of 2021, she excitedly reported that she achieved her goal of employment! Gris is pictured below with a bouquet delivered by her tutor Nancy Shappell to celebrate her new job. We are so inspired by Gris’ dedication to learning in order to create a bright future for her family! Way to go, Gris!
