webtec2020-02-19 19:23:162020-02-19 19:24:20Newsletter February 2020I just wanted to tell you that ICYO was one of the good memories of my childhood. Sometimes home life was hard but knowing that there was someone out there that cared really made a difference in my life. I went on to graduate from college, have a great job, and two beautiful kids. I just wanted to say a big thank you for all that you have done for me.
I want to let you know how much you and your program have impacted my life. You have showed me so many experiences and life values. I can’t thank you enough. Even though our time was short, you have showed me so many good aspects in our bad world. So I hope to return next year and spread on your teaching and values to the next kids!
I have been in this program since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Now I am 14 years old. This program has helped with my grades, helped with trying to be a better person in life and it has helped me try to be a better role model. I have learned that success in life in that is the best way to live. “If you can’t find a good role model, be one” Miss Lillie says and has been a good role model to me. She is teaching and doesn’t even recognize she is doing that. She has been one of my best role models.
This program has helped me because they helped me bring my grades up. They also help me by staying active over the summer by putting me in tennis camp and basketball camp. They are supportive and patient with me.
They understand me and do not make me feel bad for not understanding a question. I came in this program in the 5th grade. I was 10 years old and now I am 13. This program was one of the best things that ever happened to my education. And that is why I am still here and love it.
The ICYO program has helped me to complete my homework and assignments so I can pass in class.
Also our field trips are very fun and camp is very fun also and that is why I like ICYO.
My name is Mijaina and I am 10 years old.
