Much graditude to our Xavier University X-Change volunteers
on their first day of Homework Assistance & Academic Tutoring with our K-5 students.

Shout out to Wylin, Walnut Hills H.S. freshman who tutored Zion. Wylin was able to discern that Zion was not being challenged enough & icyo provided him with a new grade 5 math workbook just purchased this summer from a new publisher.
