After receiving a hand written letter from listener Mary about her granddaughters, Brooke and Tanya knew they needed to help! Mary explains that her daughter Tanya is a single mother to two girls, 12-year-old Quinshayla and 6-year-old Alize, and has dealt with domestic violence that put the girls’ dad in prison.

Both girls have gone through some rough experiences, including doors being kicked-in, guns pulled on their family, and being homeless for a year. As a result, the girls have had to switch schools many times and have fallen behind. Quinshayla is entering 6th grade in the fall but can only read at a 3rd grade level. So Brooke and Tanya have secured these young girls two $4000 scholarships to Sylvan for tutoring! Listen as Brooke and Tanya surprise this family with the news…

Because Sylvan is personalized for each student, they will begin with a reading and math assessment for Quinshayla and an early reading assessment for Alize. Based on this unique group of tests, they will be able to pinpoint where the girls have strengths and precisely identify their skill gaps. Then the girls will receive an intense 6 hours of instruction per week over the remainder of the summer, and adjust the schedule for the girls when school begins in the fall.

And to get the girls ready for school, they are receiving a $50 gift card to Bartell Drugs.

Plus a family day at ACME Bowl for some fun for everyone!
