Three-peat and a Leap to Lambeau
For the third consecutive year, LSW is thrilled to announce that we are in the top quartile of Adult Education and Family Literacy Act providers in the entire state of Wisconsin. We remain committed to not only providing engaging adult education programming for our students, but also making sure that our students are learning and ultimately achieving their goals. A huge thanks to our volunteers for providing the additional one-on-one support and to our staff for their dedication in creating comprehensive classes that bridge students to their next steps. 
LSW was also honored to receive a Green Bay Packers Foundation grant to support volunteer training and professional development. The Packers hosted a luncheon on Tuesday, November 2nd for the statewide grant recipients. LeRoy Butler was in attendance, taking photos with guests and sharing words of encouragement for nonprofit and educational leaders about the impact our programs have on the lives of our students. As a huge Packers fan, it was humbling to hear LeRoy, the innovator behind the Lambeau Leap, refer to our collective nonprofit-sector work as heroic. 
Call for Volunteers!
Looking for a change in the New Year?

LSW is excited to now be offering GED tutoring at the Milwaukee County Jail (MCJ)! We have had a wonderful group of volunteers help us pilot the program this fall and are looking for additional volunteers to help in 2022.

The GED helps non-traditional students earn a high school credential and consists of 4 standardized tests in the subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Volunteer tutors in this program will work with students virtually to build the knowledge necessary to pass each test. Preference will be given for tutors willing to help with more than one subject.

LSW believes in the importance of equitable access to education and is excited to partner with volunteers and MCJ to help provide transformational opportunities for every student in our service area.

A Fond Farewell
Last week, staff gathered to celebrate Kelly Fox and her years of dedicated service to the LSW community. The festivities included pizza, hip-hop, and, of course, dog-shaped bookends to honor her time with us. We wish her the best as she takes on a new chapter of her career.
