Five students at NOC’s Cordillo Program Center, realizing that they were about to be out of school for the four-day MLK weekend, decided to take the initiative to ask Program Manager Kaci Hollingsworth if they could have extra math worksheets to take home so they would not fall behind in their studies. Lucy Morales (left) said, “My teacher did not give me any homework this weekend, and I would like to have something to work on so that I am not just sitting around with nothing to do.” These students were so dedicated to their studies, they each took home three math worksheets to complete over the long weekend. They told their Program Manager that they were excited to bring the worksheets back to NOC on the following Tuesday to show that they had worked hard and completed the worksheets.
Congratulations to these students who clearly want to excel!
