Supporters of Heart Math Tutoring gathered recently at a “Perfect Pairings” event to mark Heart’s growing successes and branding changes.

Michelle G. Johnson, principal at Billingsville Leadership Academy, praised Heart’s success in helping teachers fill the gaps in math education and lauded the impact of relationships with tutors has had on Billingsville’s young leaders. “It is a legacy that is ongoing. Our students now know what it means to have someone come in just for them and serves as their personal cheerleader,” Johnson said.

Shaina Ormsby, a K-Grade 3 teacher at Highland Renaissance Academy, echoed Johnson’s remarks about the impact on learning and the power of the connections that get made. She shared the stories of three students who have benefited from the one-on-one relationships with tutors.

The celebration, held at the home of Anne Leggett, Heart’s Board of Directors Chair, featured Tuscan wines paired with antipasti.
