Heart Math Tutoring Receives $20,000 From Wells Fargo For Billingsville Leadership Academy
September 11, 2015
Heart Math Tutoring is happy to share that for the second consecutive year, a grant of $20,000 from Wells Fargo will allow us to partner with Billingsville Leadership Academy. Starting later this month, around 75 Billingsville students will be seen one-on-one by a tutor twice per week through early May.
“We are proud to support an organization like Heart Math Tutoring where their focus is to eliminate the achievement gap and provide a quality education for all students,” said Kristi Thomas, Community Affairs Officer for Wells Fargo. “Our vision for the communities we serve aligns directly with Heart’s mission and work.”
Heart will also be welcoming almost 30 Wells Fargo employees as volunteer tutors across its seven school sites in the 2015/16 school year.
Michelle G. Johnson, principal at Billingsville Leadership Academy says, “Thank you to Heart Math Tutoring and to Wells Fargo for supporting Billingsville. Heart tutors not only provide a highly effective math intervention, they also provide a great deal of encouragement and support to students and serve as their personal cheerleaders.”
