On Friday, January 29th, 121Reach held its first event of the semester! The purpose of this event was to inspire tutors and tutees to think about why education is so important to them. This is what the tutoring program was founded on: getting excited about learning! Everyone who attended was given a colorful piece of construction paper where in a letter written to First Lady Obama they would answer any of these three questions:
Why do you think education is important?
What are your goals for the future?
What do you want to be when you grow up and why?
We spent quite awhile trying to think of intelligent answers to send to Michelle Obama. The cards will be consolidated into one giant card and hopefully she will be able to get a glimpse of what 121Reach is doing down here in Johns Creek to further our educational goals. Check out the photos!
Finally everyone finished and the people who remained played an intense game of WAH! What a great way to spend time together, tutors and tutees!
