Thank You!
A huge thank you to all sponsors, prize donors and golfers in the First Annual Roy and Bob Charity Golf Tournament for your generous support of Each One Teach One students in our Summer Program. Your donations made it possible to hire expert teachers of reading, writing, art, math/science and a master gardener for 60 Greenwood 4th through 8th graders.

How Does This Benefit?
Each One Teach One knows that understanding vocabulary is the key to all learning. How glorious that important vocabulary is everywhere, so teachers engage students in gardening to build math concepts of area and volume and science concepts of nutrients and sustainable living habits.
Our art teacher adds vocabulary through diagrams of beetles, flowers, and leaves to guide the students to add rich details in their original paintings, metal work and murals

Our published author engages students in rigorous researching about birds of prey to guide them through the process of publishing a clear and interesting information book.

In just two weeks of Summer Program many of the students have added over 50 new words from their reading and writing about beautifully- illustrated picture books.
Students’ goal is to pass a rigorous graduation by June 30, so they can earn their Each One Teach One teaching license to teach their new words to another Greenwood student. For Greenwood, the Superman we’ve been waiting for lies in our volunteers who help students learn words and in our students who “pay it forward”. by teaching other students.
Please join us as a volunteer at Greenwood and on the links again next year!
Children can't wait for solutions that might take a generation to work. Today is theirs and ours . . . Providing equal access to opportunity is a formidable challenge. Leaders can make the personal and organizational commitments that mobilize others. The walls of our organizations were built up over many years. To change lives we need to move beyond the walls and reach out to the community today. Later will be too late for a generation of kids . . . To make a difference we need a community-by-community mobilization of focus, will, energy, and commitment.”
