Dear Principal Marcus Vance,
As a teaching assistant at Oakridge Elementary School, I supported 18 students in small groups during daily reading blocks, resulting in 4 children moving up a reading level. I am excited to bring this same focus on academic milestones to Buckeye Valley Elementary School, especially given your recent launch of the after-school reading intervention program for early grades.
