Chapter One
Chapter One is a non-profit organization that provides online tutoring to our school through voluntary partnerships with various companies. This year our tutors were from Apple, JP Morgan Chase, Mizuho Americas, and Deloitte Accounting Firm. These tutors provide online tutoring to our first and second grade students supporting reading and writing. At the end of the tutoring cycle, they come to meet the kids in person and celebrate. We had pizza parties with activity books, gifts, certificates and best of all smiles on the faces of the tutors and students. It was an amazing week of celebrations.
