Mari learns a few things, too! A shy smile from Sonya jfvuASdcty As a continuation of a successful project started last year, approximately fifty junior and senior students tutored in five D.C. urban elementary schools again this year. Under the supervision of co-ordinator, Miss Ellen McGinn, students were excused from second and third period classes every Thursday. Most students worked on a one-to- one basis with a child; a few helped out with a group or class. Students who participated agree that the time and energy put into this program is well worth it. Next year, it is hoped that this project will once again be continued with more widespread interest from students at Langley. 28
