September 2021 Newsletter
SUMMER SCHOOL RESULTS
For eight weeks, we had over 200 students in the building for Summer School. Our students needed those extra weeks to help get them back on track academically after a difficult year. We are thrilled to report that of the students tested, 60% gained skills in reading and in math. Our preschool students also saw some great learning growth: 73% gained skills in naming and letter sounds and 89% saw growth in basic counting. We still have a long way to go, but thanks to our dedicated teachers and staff, we are on our way to making up for COVID learning loss.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Want to make a huge difference in the lives of adult immigrants? We need more adult English language tutors at Guadalupe School! Over 160 community members donate their time every year to provide instruction to our adult students. No teaching experience or second language required, just a commitment of 2-hours, once a week. For more information, contact Kate Brainerd at 801-531-6100 ext.102 or kate.brainerd@guadschool.org.
Transforming Lives Through Education
BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE
Thank you to our generous community for providing back-to-school supplies for each of our 420 preschool through sixth grade students. Each student received a backpack full of essential school supplies to start the new school year. We received dozens of packages in the mail, groups collected items and dropped them off at the school, and money was donated for the school to purchase necessities. 95% of our students come from homes at or below the poverty line. Thank you for easing this financial burden for our families!
