Our 1st Virtual Literacy session was A+

September 17, 2020

🌟 🌈 Meet some of our Summer stars and learn what their Literacy Tutors had to say about this wonderful experience  🌈🌟

 

It wasn’t easy to launch the Virtual Summer Literacy Tutoring program, but with the efforts of our dedicated Literacy Coordinator, Jeri Gurley and her amazing team of volunteers, they spent countless hours making sure kids could take advantage of this free program that GiGi’s Playhouse San Diego offers.  Thanks to Jeri and our Literacy Tutors we completed our first Virtual Literacy session successfully!

See below some of our amazing participants ✨
