YELLS Afterschool Program Students of the Month

Our YELLS Afterschool Program youth amaze us each day as they demonstrate servant-leadership.  Each month, we honor youth in each grade level that go above and beyond.  This month’s youth include:

Kindergarten: Sofia Duarte
Sofia has grown leaps and bounds this school year, particularly in the homework room. Sofia is committed to trying her best to learn her sight words, letter sounds, and numbers. The tutors are always impressed by her level of focus and dedication. Way to go Sofia!

First Grade: Jordan Garcia
Jordan Garcia is the first-grade student of the month because of his positive attitude, joy for learning, and attitude of service. Whenever asked to help out with a task, Jordan gleefully complies. During homework, Jordan has become more independent and responsible. We know that we can count on him. Congratulations Jordan!

Second Grade: Nyeli Chavez
Nyeli joined the YELLS Afterschool Program in February. Since joining, we have been so grateful to spend afternoons with her. Her pleasant and positive attitude, caring nature, and sense of duty for her academic work is why she is this months’s student of the month.

Third Grade: Norman Poch
Norman has been a part of the YELLS family for 3 years. In that time, we have watched Norman grow into a curious, confidant, and funny leader. We are so proud of his academic growth in reading and math. It is clear that Norman wants to do well, not only to please his family and teachers, but because he wants to do well in life. Keep it up Norman!

Fifth Grade: Sharif Bahar 
If you ask any YELLS ASP kids or teacher to describe Sharif they would probably say the same thing: smart and funny. Everyone knows those things about Sharif, but he is also witty, thoughtful, and wise. This year at YELLS, Sharif has matured in the way that he interacts and communicates with his peers. We are all very proud of him!
